The presence of MGA mRNA in peripheral blood displayed a sensitivity of 38.2%, specificity of
100.0%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 100.0%, and negative predictive value (NPV) of
61.8% as a breast cancer marker.
Radwan WM 2013 evaluate the value of peripheral blood mammaglobin (MG) gene expression
for diagnosis and prediction of metastasis in breast cancer patients. MG expression was detected
in 16/32 (50%) breast cancer patients but not in patients with benign lesions or healthy
participants. During the 34 months of follow up, five more MG-positive patients showed
metastatic lesions and none of the MG negative patients who were followed up developed
metastasis.
The study suggests blood MG expression is a specific molecular marker for detection of occult
mammary carcinoma cells of patients with operable breast cancer. It might be of value as a
predictor of subsequent metastasis. Large-scale studies and longer follow-up periods are needed.
However, the results revealed that plasma mammaglobin A was not significantly associated
with tumor size (OR=1.29; 95% CI=0.46–3.66; P=0.63), tumor differentiation (OR=0.99; 95%
CI=0.63–1.57; P=0.97), menopausal status
(OR=0.75; 95% CI=0.48–1.18; P=0.22), estrogen receptor status (OR=0.78; 95% CI=0.44–
1.36; P=0.38), progesterone receptor status (OR=0.76; 95% CI=0.57–1.02; P=0.07), or human
epidermal growth factor receptor 2 status (OR=1.12; 95% CI=0.78–1.59; P=0.54).
In conclusion, the results demonstrate that positive plasma mammaglobin A expression might
serve as a biomarker of poor prognosis for breast carcinoma patients.
