Abstract:Introduction: Breast malignancy is a significant general medical issue for women all through the world. In the United States, breast malignant growth remains the most incessant disease in ladies and the second most frequent cause of cancer death. Methods: Fifty cases of carcinoma of the breast in which tumour markers were studied All the cases were admitted in this institution, investigated and treated accordingly but tumour marker was sent to the outside standard laboratory, Mumbai. The cases were followed up, for a minimum period of 24 months. Results: In 13/24 cases with abnormal CA15-3 value in postoperative follow up period, there are 54% of patients with metastatic disease. In 4/24 cases with preoperative abnormal CA15-3, metastasis occurred in 75% and locoregional recurrence occurred in 50%. In 8/50 cases with preoperative abnormal CA15-3, 75% of patients are presented with locally advanced disease. In 9/24 cases with abnormal CEA value in the postoperative follow-up period, there are 67% of patients with metastatic disease. In 15/24 cases with preoperative abnormal CEA, metastasis occurred in 40% and In 16/24 cases with preoperative abnormal CEA, locoregional recurrence occurred in 25%. In 32/50 cases with preoperative abnormal CEA, 63% of patients are presented with locally advanced disease. Conclusions: There is the significance of Tumour markers in carcinoma of the breast. The use of CA15-3 for early detection of metastasis seems to be promising. It appears that CA15-3 is a valuable prognostic indicator in following up of breast cancer patients as it had a significant association with both metastases and loco-regional disease.

INTRODUCTION

Breast malignancy is a significant general medical issue for women all through the world. In the United States, breast malignant growth remains the most incessant disease in ladies and the second most frequent cause of cancer death. In 2007 it is that breast cancer will account for 26% of cancer cases and 15% of cancer deaths, which translates to 176,296 new cases and 40,515 deaths.1 Breast cancer was also the most common form of cancer seen in Europe in 2006, 429,900 new cases, representing 13.5% of all new cancers.2 Since 1990, the death rate from breast cancer has decreased in the United States by 24% and similar reductions have been observed in other countries.3,4 Mathematical models suggest that both the adoption of screening mammography and the availability of adjuvant chemotherapy and tamoxifen have contributed approximately equally to this improvement.5

Although breast cancer has traditionally been less common in non-industrialized nations, its incidence in these areas is increasing. location of breast malignant growth repeat. CA15-3 levels are likewise expanded in colon, lung and hepatic tumours Roughly 50% of these recently analyzed patients are hub negative, anyway 30% of these cases progress to metastatic illness. Several tumor markers can assist clinicians with distinguishing and analyze which breast malignant growth patients will have forceful malady and which will have a lethargic course. These markers incorporate estrogen and progesterone receptors, DNA ploidy and percent-S stage profile, epidermal development factor receptor, HER-2/neu oncogene, p53 tumour silencer quality, cathepsin D, expansion markers and CA15-3. CA15-3 is generally valuable for checking patients post-operatively for the repeat, especially metastatic maladies. 96% of patients with the neighborhood and fundamental repeat have raised CA15-3, which can be utilized to foresee repeat sooner than radiological and clinical rules. A 25% expansion in the serum CA15-3 is related to the movement of carcinoma. A half diminishing in serum CA15-3 is related to the reaction to treatment. CA15-3 is more delicate than CEA in right on time.

Carcinoembryonic Antigen and Cancer Antigen 15-3are the most thoroughly investigated tumour markers in breast cancer. Circulating levels of CEA and CA15-3 have become established diagnostic tools as fast,  noninvasive, reproducible, quantitative parameters in follow up care and monitoring therapy of breast cancer patients. CEA is a member of immunoglobulin superfamily. The human CEA quality family is grouped on chromosome 19q and includes 29 qualities. Of these, 18 are communicated, with 7 having a place with the CEA subgroup and 11 to the pregnancy-specific glycoprotein subgroup6. When isolated from liver metastasis, CEA is a glycoprotein consisting of ~ 60% carbohydrate and a molecular mass of ~180–200 kDa. Most of the carbohydrate is composed of mannose, galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, fucose, and sialicacid7. CA 15-3 assay measures the protein product of the MUC-1gene located on chromosome 1q. MUC1 protein is a large transmembrane glycoprotein containing a large extracellular domain, a membrane-spanning sequence and a cytoplasmic domain.8,9

The CA15-3 is a glycoprotein, helps in cell adhesion, immunity and metastasis.6 The antigen is defined by reacting with two monoclonal antibodies DF3 and 115D8. The DF3 antibody was raised against a membrane-enriched fraction of human breast carcinoma. The 115D8 antibody was prepared against human milk fat globulin membrane and may be directed to a carbohydrate epitope.10 Serum CEA and CA15-3 are established prognostic markers in breast cancer patients. This study is aimed to correlate the serum marker levels with the clinical stage of the disease, size of the tumour, nodal status and for detecting metastasis, loco-regional recurrence in female breast cancer patients. If a correlation is found, it could provide clinicians with an indication of prognosis, thus enabling appropriate adjuvant therapy.

MATERIALS and METHODS

This study was conducted in KRISHNA HOSPITAL and MEDICAL RESEARCH CENTRE, KARAD during the period from May 2006 to May  2008. The study comprises of a total of 50 cases that were admitted in this hospital. On admission case, history was noted and the patients were examined clinically. In this study, the TNM staging system was followed and blood samples were collected in plain bulbs. The study was approved by the Institutional Ethical Committee. Informed consent was obtained from each patient before sample collection.

 Tumour markers (CEA and CA15-3) were analysed by the sandwich ELISA method using C.L.I. Technology. (Fully automated Bidirectionally interfaced Chemiluminescent Immunoassay)

CEA: 50 microlitres of the patient’s samples and 100 microlitre anti-HRP (Horseradish Peroxidase) conjugate were added to the microwells coated with a monoclonal antibody (Mab). The antibody-enzyme conjugate solution contained goat anti CEA antibody conjugated to HRP. CEA is the patient’s serum bound to anti-CEA MAb on the well and the anti-CEA-HRP second antibody then bound to CEA. Unbound protein and HRP conjugate were washed off by wash buffer (phosphate buffer saline). Upon the addition of the TMB (3 3' 5 5' tetramethylbenzidine) substrate, the intensity of the colour is proportional to the concentration of CEA in the samples. The colour development was stopped with the addition of stop solution(1N HCl).

OBSERVATIONS AND RESULTS

In 13/24 cases with abnormal CA15-3 value in the postoperative follow-up period, there are 54% of patients with metastatic disease. In 4/24 cases with preoperative abnormal CA15-3, metastasis occurred in 75% and locoregional recurrence occurred in 50%.In 8/50 cases with preoperative abnormal CA15-3, 75% of patients are presented with locally advanced disease. In 9/24 cases with abnormal CEA value in the postoperative follow-up period, there are 67% of patients with metastatic disease. In 15/24 cases with preoperative abnormal CEA, metastasis occurred in 40% and In 16/24 cases with preoperative abnormal CEA, locoregional recurrence occurred in 25%.In 32/50 cases with preoperative abnormal CEA, 63% of patients are presented with locally advanced disease.

DISCUSSION

This study was conducted in KRISHNA HOSPITAL AND MEDICAL RESEARCH CENTRE, KARAD, during the period from May 2006 to May 2008. Fifty cases of carcinoma breast in which tumour markers were studied during this period.

1)Age incidence

Breast cancer has a major impact on the health of women11. Breast cancer is the most common female-related cancer that leads to death in mostly 40-45 years old women12

In our present study, there is a correlation between tumour size and CA15-3, not with the age of the patient.

2) Tumour size and advanced clinical stage

K. Thriveni Girija Ramaswamy showed that Measurement of serum CA15-3 showed significant correlation with tumour size and advanced clinical stage whereas measurement of serum CEA did not show any significant correlation in breast cancer patients before treatment.13

In our present study measurement of serum, CA15-3 showed significant correlation with tumour size(25%), not with clinical stage, whereas measurement of serum CEA did not show any significant correlation with tumour size and advanced clinical stage in breast cancer patients before treatment.

3) Tumour marker with loco-regional recurrence

Bottini concluded pretreatment elevated CA15-3 levels correlated with a higher recurrence rate, further supporting the prognostic significance of this tumour marker.

                Busetto M concluded the main clinical application of CA15-3 is for monitoring patients with diagnosed breast carcinoma and preclinically detecting recurrence.14

                In the present study, pretreatment elevated serum CA15-3 is significantly associated with loco-regional recurrence. In 8/48 cases with elevated pretreatment value, locoregional recurrence occurred in 50% cases.

4) Tumour maker with distant metastasis

                Coveney EC15 showed elevated serum levels of CA15-3 are found more in breast carcinoma patient with distant metastasis, although the marker is rarely elevated in patients with local or primary breast carcinoma.

                James TWU16 showed that CA15-3 has been elevated in 95% of cases where metastasis existed.

                Hou MF and Arsalan N17,18 concluded that serum levels of CEA and CA15-3 compared and found that CA15-3 was more sensitive and specific in metastatic breast cancer than CEA.

                Safi et al.19showed that CA15-3 was significantly better than CEA in the detection of breast cancer metastasis.

                In the present study, 63 % patients showed an elevation in CA15-3 value. These support the fact that CA15-3 is more valuable than CEA and is gradually replacing CEA in follow up of patients with metastatic breast cancer. 

                CA15-3 is one of the first circulating marker shown to provide independent prognostic information in patients with breast carcinoma. CA15-3 should be a relatively noninvasive and inexpensive approach to obtain prognostic information in newly diagnosed breast cancer patient.20

                It is generally agreed that tumour marker in breast cancer patients is not a tool for primary diagnosis because of their low sensitivity and specificity.21

CONCLUSIONS-There is the significance of Tumour markers in carcinoma of the breast. The use of CA15-3 for early detection of metastasis seems to be promising. It appears that CA15-3 is a valuable prognostic indicator in following up of breast cancer patients as it had a significant association with both metastases and loco-regional disease.
