Table 2

Immunohistochemical results of DCIS

Antigen 3+ complete* 3+ partial 2+ complete 2+ partial* 2+ focal 1+ complete* 1+ partial* 1+ focal* 0*
The values are number of ducts staining positively/total number of ducts involved by DCIS.
*The difference in the proportion of ducts staining positively was significant at p = 0.02 or better using Fisher’s exact test. Other results were not significant at the 0.25 level.
DCIS, ductal carcinoma in situ; SMMHC, smooth muscle myosin heavy chain.
CD10 65/366 (17.7%) 0/366 (0%) 55/366 (15.0%) 20/366 (5.5%) 0/351 (0%) 29/366 (7.9%) 27/366 (7.4%) 54/366 (14.8%) 116/366 (31.7%)
SMMHC 190/396 (48.0%) 0/379 (0%) 52/396 (13.1%) 52/396 (13.1%) 3/396 (0.8%) 1/396 (0.2%) 13/396 (3.3%) 35/396 (8.8%) 50/396 (12.7%)
