Carbonic Anhydrase IX Enzyme in Triple Negative Breast Carcinoma

Carbonic Anhydrase IX Enzyme in Triple Negative Breast Carcinoma: Relationship With Prognostic Factors and Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

Triple-negative breast carcinoma is characterized by the absence of estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and HER2/neu receptors. Carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) is a tumor-associated cell surface glycoprotein that is involved in adaptation to hypoxia-induced acidosis and plays a role in cancer progression. This study aimed to investigate CA IX expression in TNBC and its relationship with treatment effect.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Tru-cut biopsy materials, sent to our hospital pathology laboratory between August 2018 and May 2023, will be examined. Invasive carcinoma cases will be evaluated according to estrogen, progesterone, and HER 2 receptor levels. Triple-negative tumor cases were isolated and those cases who underwent breast resection in our hospital after receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (Adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, and then paclitaxel for 4 cycles) were included in the study.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Low Staining
CA IX is a transmembrane protein, it exhibits cytoplasmic membrane staining. Immunohistochemically positive cells were graded as Low staining if they constituted <10% of the total.
CA IX is a transmembrane protein, it exhibits cytoplasmic membrane staining. Immunohistochemically positive cells were graded as Low staining if they constituted <10% of the total and high staining if they constituted ≥ 10% (15).
High Staining
CA IX is a transmembrane protein, it exhibits cytoplasmic membrane staining. Immunohistochemically positive cells were graded as high staining if they constituted ≥ 10%
