Abstract: Objective To analyze the changes of plasma D-dimer level in breast cancer patients, and to investigate the relationship between the level of D-dimer and prognosis of breast cancer. Methods A total of 92 cases of primary breast cancer and 85 healthy controls were enrolled. The level of D-dimer was measured with latex-enhanced immunoassay, and ER, PR, HER2, Ki-67 and P53 levels were detected with immunohistochemical methods. During the follow-up of 8 months, the plasma D-dimer levels in breast cancer patients were analyzed. Results The level of D-dimer in breast cancer patients was significantly higher compared to that of the healthy controls (P<0.01); the level of D-dimer in survivors during follow-up was significantly lower than that in those who died (P<0.05); the level of plasma D-dimer in breast cancer patients with different expressions of ER, PR, HER2, Ki-67 and P53 showed no significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion D-dimer can act as a predictor of breast cancer prognosis, while it has nothing to do with other immunohistochemical indexes.

Key words: Breast cancer, D-dimer, Prognosis, Immunohistochemistry
