The Relationship between MRI Findings,p53 Expression,and Clinical Pathology of Ductal Carcinoma in Situ of the Breast
Objective:To explore and analyze the relationship between magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)findings,p53 protein(p53)expression and clinicopathology in ductal carcinoma in situ of breast(DCIS).Method:A retrospective study was conducted on MRI plain scan + enhancement data of 60 patients with surgically and pathologically confirmed DCIS in Nanchang People's Hospital between January 2018 and December 2021,the pathological grading and MRI findings[dynamic enhancement curve,early enhancement rate,apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC),focal morphology]of patients were observed and recorded,the expression of p53 in carcinoma tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry,the relationship between MRI findings,p53 expression and clinicopathology was analyzed.Result:The main MRI findings in DCIS patients were non-mass enhancement[37 cases(61.67%,37/60)],which was mainly on segmental enhancement(19 cases,51.35%)and cluster-ring enhancement(17 cases,45.95%).The dynamic enhancement curves were mainly on type Ⅰ(25 cases,41.67%),and early enhancement rate was mainly on fast enhancement(22 cases,36.67%).The proportion of cases with ADC value<1.0×10-3 mm2/s was high[65.00%(39/60)].The proportions of type Ⅲ TIC and early fast enhancement in p53 positive and high nuclear grading were significantly higher than those in p53 negative and non-high nuclear grading,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);but there were not significant differences in morphology,distribution of non-mass enhancement,internal enhancement or ADC among patients with different p53 expression(positive,negative)and pathological grading(high nuclear grade,non-high nuclear grade)(P>0.05).The expression of p53 was related to pathological grading.The incidence of p53 positive was higher in patients with high nuclear grade of DCIS,the difference was statistically significantly(P<0.05).Conclusion:MRI findings are specific in DCIS patients,which are mainly characterized by non-mass enhancement with segmental distribution and cluster-ring enhancement,and early fast enhancement and type Ⅰ TIC curves are common.MRI findings are related to p53 expression and pathological grade.The analysis of MRI findings can provide reference for the treatment and prognosis of DCIS patients.
