Association of ultrasonographic features with NGX6 expression and prognosis in invasive ductal breast carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma-associated gene 6 (NGX6) is a newly discovered tumor suppressor gene. It contains one epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain. Many studies have shown that proteins contain (EGF)-like domain structure affect a variety of biological actions. However, little is known about the relationships between NGX6 expression and biological behaviors in invasive ductal breast carcinoma (IDBC). The study discussed the association of ultrasonographic features with NGX6 expression and prognosis in IDBC.

Methods

Ultrasonographic feature and clinical data in 122 patients with IDBC were retrospectively analyzed. NGX6 expression of IDBC was measured using immunohistochemistry methods.

Results

The incidence of the burr sign, lymph node metastasis and
