    Circulating immune complexes (CIC) levels showed slight prognostic value in early breast cancer but were not clearly linked to disease progression in metastatic cases. Antigen-specific CIC assays may offer greater clinical significance than current non-specific tests.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Oncology
    • Biochemistry

    Context:

    • Circulating immune complexes (CIC) are implicated in various diseases, including cancer.
    • Assessing CIC levels in breast cancer patients can provide insights into disease mechanisms and prognosis.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the occurrence and levels of CIC in breast cancer patients using the 125I-C1q binding test.
    • To evaluate the correlation of CIC levels with clinical TN stage, tumor treatment, and disease progression in different breast cancer forms.

    Summary:

    • CIC levels were not correlated with TN stage or local treatment in regional breast cancer.
    • Elevated CIC levels were observed in inflammatory breast tumors and slightly increased in metastatic breast cancer.
    • CIC levels showed a poor correlation with disease progression in disseminated breast cancer, suggesting limited prognostic value.

    Impact:

    • Current non-specific CIC assays have limited clinical relevance as tumor markers or prognostic factors in breast cancer.
    • Antigen-specific CIC assays may hold greater clinical significance for breast cancer diagnosis and prognosis.
    • Findings suggest a potential role for inflammatory processes in elevating CIC levels in certain breast cancer subtypes.
