Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is a malignant proliferation of epithelial lining of ducts or lobules of breast and occurs due to hyper- estrogenic states. It appears that estrogen and progesterone act through proto-oncogenes and growth factors to affect breast cancer etiology. Beta catenin is a proto-oncogene and the mutation of this gene is found in a variety of cancers including primary hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal cancer and breast cancer. It may be one of the marker in breast cancer as it is having impact on cyclic D pathway but the precise role is not known. Aim and Objectives: To estimate the serum levels of beta catenin in patients of carcinoma breast and to compare with age matched healthy controls. Methodology: The present study was conducted in the department of Biochemistry in collaboration with department of  Radiotherapy and Surgery in PGIMS Rohtak. Twenty five patients with histopathological proven carcinoma breast were taken for the study and same number of  age matched subjects served as controls. Serum beta catenin was assessed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) along with routine biochemistry of all the subjects. Results: The  beta catenin levels were found to be  increased in  the cases as compared to controls. The  mean value was 43.32±9.39 pg/mL in cases and 19.6±4.17pg/mL in control subjects  and p value was significant. Conclusion: Beta catenin may play a role in the pathogenesis of breast cancer and can be used as a prognostic marker.
