Abstract:
In order to explore the application value of DCE-MRI in clinical diagnosis and treatment, guide early clinical diagnosis, evaluate prognosis, guide clinical selection of treatment options and improve medical level, the expression of adenocarcinoma, its relationship with clinicopathology, and the significance of co-expression of the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), Ki67 protein and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) in breast cancer are analyzed. The results show that the positive expression rates of ki67, PCNA, and COX-2 in breast cancer patients are significantly higher than those in breast cancer patients (P<0.05). Positive expressions of ki67, PCNA, and COX-2 in breast cancer patients are not correlated with age, tumor size and clinical stage (P>0.05). There is no significant difference (P>0.05) between the pathological types of breast cancer and positive expressions of ki67, PCNA and COX-2 in all the samples studied. Therefore, there is a correlation between DCE-MRI imaging features and prognostic indicators in breast cancer.

What is Gene Expression?
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
Genetic Information Flows from DNA to RNA to Protein
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...
