Relationship between the expression of Notch1 and EZH2 and the prognosis of breast invasive ductal carcinoma

摘要

We determined whether the coexpression of Notch1 and EZH2 influences the progression and prognosis of breast invasive ductal carcinoma. Using the χ2 test, a significant difference was found between high and low expression of Notch1 in terms of lymph node, hormone receptor, and p53 expression (P Notch1 = 0.000, 40.3 vs 48.9 months; PEZH2 = 0.000, 40.2 vs 49.9 months). Moreover, we found that high Notch1 and EZH2 expression was associated with poor overall survival compared with low expression (PNotch1 = 0.000, 51.2 vs 56.2 months; PEZH2 = 0.002, 51.7 vs 56.4 months). In conclusion, Notch1 and EZH2 coexpression contributes to the progression and prognosis of breast invasive ductal carcinoma.
