Objective: The role that Beclin 1 (BECN1) plays in the development and progression of cancer mediated by autophagy, as well as its differential expression in breast cancer cell lines and mammary tumor tissue according to the molecular subtype, has been demonstrated. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of BECN1 cytoplasmic expression with clinical and pathologic response, recurrence, disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC), according to immunophenotype.
Patients And Methods: 64 patients with non-triple negative LABC and 20 patients with triple negative LABC who received preoperative chemotherapy were included in an observational, analytical and retrospective study to evaluate the cytoplasmic expression of BECN1 protein by immunohistochemistry in microarrays of breast cancer tissue obtained before treatment.
