Abstract: Objective To investigate the relationship between serum lipid and molecular types, Ki-67 level of breast cancer. Methods Total of 143 breast cancer patients who underwent the surgery from January 2012 to May 2017 were enrolled. The level of high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), cholesterol (TC), apolipoprotein B (ApoB), apolipoprotein A (ApoA),and triglyceride (TG) were measured. The relationship between the above factors and the different molecular types of breast cancer was analyzed and discussed. Results The level of HDL-C, LDL-C, TC, ApoB and TG were significantly associated with different breast cancer subtypes (P<0.05). No significant difference of ApoA levels was observed in the different breast cancer subtypes (P>0.05). The levels of LDL-C, TC and ApoB were positively correlated with Ki-67 levels, while the levels of HDL-C was negatively correlated with Ki-67 level. However, The levels of ApoB and TG showed no relation with Ki-67 expression level. Conclusion Lipid metabolism is different in different breast cancer molecular subtypes. The serum lipid level is related to the expression level of Ki-67. High levels of TC and LDL-C and low level of HDL-C suggest poor prognosis in breast cancer.
