What is Different Proliferative Patterns Characterize Different Preinvasive Breast Lesions about?

The study of cell-cycle associated proteins Ki-67/MIB-1, bcl-2 and p53 could clarify some features regarding the early phases of neoplastic progression in the breast. An extensive immunohistochemical study was carried out of the expression of these markers in all kinds of preinvasive breast lesions and their collateral normal parenchyma, a type of analysis not previously reported. The specimens were 35 florid ductal hyperplasias (FDHs), 8 atypical ductal hyperplasias (ADHs), 12 well-differentiated intraductal carcinomas (WDICs), 20 intermediately differentiated intraductal carcinomas (IDICs), 14 poorly differentiated intraductal carcinomas (PDICs), 12 atypical lobular hyperplasias (ALHs), 12 type-A lobular carcinomas in situ (LCIS), 150 normal small-size ducts and 365 lobules. All FDHs, ADHs, WDICs, and lobular lesions showed low proliferation (Ki-67/MIB-1), bcl-2 positivity, and p53 negativity; all PDICs expressed high proliferation, while 85 per cent and 7 per cent were p53 and bcl-2 positive respectively; IDICs showed high proliferation (50 per cent), bcl-2 expression (70 per cent), and p53 positivity (30 per cent), but no correlation between the expression of these markers was
