Abstract :
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy and a major cause of death in women worldwide. Protooncogene cyclin D1 is to control the cell cycle and topoisomerase IIa has an important role in DNA replication as well as a specific target of some chemotherapeutic agents. Amplification of topoisomerase IIa is regarded to a poor prognosis, but it is a good predictor response to cytotoxic chemotherapy. The relationship between the histopathological degree of invasive ductal breast carcinoma and the expression of topoisomerase IIa and cyclin D1 is still unclear. This study aimed to determine the relationship between topoisomerase IIa and cyclin D1 with the histopathological degree of invasive ductal breast carcinoma. In this retrospective and cross-sectional study, researchers obtained the degree of histopathological data from medical records. Immunohistochemical examination of cyclin D1 and topoisomerase IIa was performed on paraffin block specimens from 35 patients with invasive ductal breast carcinoma at the Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Airlangga University, Dr. Soetomo Hospital from January to December 2009. Based on the histopathological degree, found 5 cases (14.3%) degree of good, 12 cases (34.3%) moderate and 18 cases (51.4%) degrees bad. The expression of topoisomerase IIa were 62.9% (22 cases) and cyclin D1were were 54.3% (19 cases). It is known that the expression of topoisomerase IIa and cyclin D1 was not related to the histopathological degree of invasive ductal breast carcinoma (p = 0.091). As a conclusion, topoisomerase IIa and cyclin D1 does not play a role in differentiation, proliferation and carcinogenesis of tumor cells in invasive ductal breast carcinoma.
