Abstract:The occurrence and development of breast cancer are closely related to cell proliferation. Leptin is a multifunctional neuroendocrine peptide hormone, which can promote cell proliferation and differentiation, and is closely related to the occurrence of breast cancer. The serum leptin level of breast cancer patients before chemotherapy is higher than that after chemotherapy. The decrease of leptin after chemotherapy can predict the prognosis of breast cancer. The expression of Ki-67 is closely related to the classic prognosis index of breast cancer, which is of great significance for the evaluation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy effect and clinical prognosis. However, the correlation between Leptin and Ki-67 in neoadjuvant chemotherapy of patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) is rare. This paper mainly reviews the role of Leptin and Ki-67 in neoadjuvant chemotherapy of LABC.
