ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background

Breast cancer is a malignant tumor with an unclear etiology and is the most common malignant tumor in women.

Research motivation

Polyligand proteoglycan-1 [syndecan-1 (SDC-1)] participates in the regulation of various functions, including lymphocyte accumulation, immunomodulation, and cell matrix regulation, and is closely related to the progress of various malignant tumors.

Research objectives

We explored the efficacy of different treatment methods and their correlation with SDC-1 expression.

Research methods

We selected 80 patients with breast cancer and divided into an observation group (n = 44) and control group (n = 36) according to the treatment plan.

Research results

The positive expression rate of SDC-1 in patients with American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage II was 11.29%, which was significantly lower than that for AJCC stage I.

Research conclusions

Low SDC-1 expression in breast cancer lesions is related to AJCC staging.

Research perspectives

We need further multicenter studies with large samples to confirm this study.
