Abstract:

Objective To investigate the correlation of hematological indexes and expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2(HER-2) in patients with breast cancer. Methods Totally,133 patients with invasive breast cancer were enrolled,and they were classified into HER-2 positive group(41 cases) and HER-2 negative group(92 cases). The clinical characteristics and hematological indexes were compared between the 2 groups. Results Compared with HER-2 negative group,HER-2 positive group had a higher red cell volume distribution width(RDW) and a lower platelet distribution width(PDW)(P<0.05). The optimal cut-off values of RDW and PDW for the differential diagnosis of HER-2 expression were 13.35% and 49.70 fL,respectively. The expression of HER-2 was correlated with lymph node metastasis(P<0.05). A high level of RDW(≥13.35%) and a low level of PDW(<49.70 fL) were correlated with HER-2 expression in breast cancer tissues(P<0.05). Conclusions RDW and PDW are correlated with HER-2 expression in breast cancer tissues,and they provide a reference for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast cancer.
