description | Objectives: The present study aimed to discuss the impacts of changes to pathological indicators of patients with breast cancer upon the incidence of postoperative lymphedema of the upper limb and prognosis. Methods: 2597 female patients with breast cancer who received surgical treatment in our hospital were enrolled in the present study to evaluate the incidence of these patients’ postoperative lymphedema of the upper limb. Results: For patients with breast cancer, the incidence of postoperative lymphedema of the upper limb was related to T stage of breast cancer, lymph node metastasis, the number of metastatic lymph nodes, pTNM stage, and pathological types of breast cancer (P<0.05). Lymph node metastasis was an independent risk factor of lymphedema of the upper limb; lymph node metastasis and Ki-67 expression level were independent factors that impacted pathologic complete response rate of neoadjuvant chemotherapies. Patients’ mortality was correlated to pathological and molecular subtypes, Ki-67 expression level, ER expression level, PR expression level, and pTNM stage (P<0.05), among which the pTNM stage, Ki-67 expression level, and PR expression level were independent factors that affected prognosis of patients with breast cancer. Conclusion: Patients with lymph node metastasis were more prone to lymphedema of the upper limb, while it was easier for those whose Ki-67 expression level was high and who were not subject to lymph node metastasis to get a pathological complete response after receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapies. The prognosis was poorer among patients whose progesterone receptors were negative and Ki-67 expression levels were high at the advanced pTNM stage. |
