Abstract


Background: miRNA 21 exhibits an increased expression in breast cancer (BC). However, its relationship with the 1-year survival of breast cancer patients is still disputable and under serious discussion. Methods: Cohort prospective study involving 49 breast cancer patients was done, comprising 26 in early stage and 23 in end-stage. We evaluated miRNA-21 values and observed its association with mortality within 1 year. Results: In general, there was a correlation between the increase in miRNA-21 levels and the mortality rate of breast cancer patients (r = 0.651; p <0.05). In the early stages, the increase in miRNA-21 values was not associated with breast cancer mortality (r= 0.25; p=0.218), but in the later stages, we found that the increase in miRNA-21 had a correlation with mortality (r=0.866; p=<0, 05). In advanced stage, high level of miRNA-21 had high asscociation with mortality rate (HR 17,27 95%CI 7,37-40,69). Conclusion: The increase in miRNA-21 values is associated with the 1-year survival of breast cancer patients.
