Carbonic Anhydrase IX Enzyme in Triple Negative Breast Carcinoma: Relationship With Prognostic Factors and Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Carbonic anhydrase staining levels for Triple Negative Breast Cancer and Carbonic Anhydrase IX. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Triple-negative breast carcinoma is characterized by the absence of estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and HER2/neu receptors. Carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) is a tumor-associated cell surface glycoprotein that is involved in adaptation to hypoxia-induced acidosis and plays a role in cancer progression. This study aimed to investigate CA IX expression in TNBC and its relationship with treatment effect.

Interventions
CA IX is a transmembrane protein, it exhibits cytoplasmic membrane staining. Immunohistochemically positive cells were graded as Low staining if they constituted \<10% of the total and high staining if they constituted ≥ 10% (15).
