Diagnostic value for detecting the activity of telomerase in breast carcinoma

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the significance of detecting the telomerase activity in diagnosis of breast carcinoma by fine needle aspiration.?METHODS?From 79 cases of breast tumors obtained by fine needle aspiration and gross specimen, the activity of telomerase was detected by polymerase chain reaction Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(PCR ELISA assay) and compared with pathologic diagnose.?RESULTS?Out of 65 cases of breast carcinomas, activity of telomerase in the specimen of fine needle aspiration was positive(88%), 54 cases of general specimen is positive(83%), and it was significantly higher in the lymphnode positive of breast carcinomas than in lymphnode negative ones. But only 2 (14%) of 14 cases of benign breast tumor were positive.?CONCLUSION?The detection of telomerase activity in preoperative breast tumors by fine needle aspiration is useful for early diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
