Background. Cathepsin D is a lysosomal protease overexpressed and abnormally secreted in most breast cancer cells. Several retrospective clinical studies have shown that cathepsin D is an independent prognostic factor in breast cancer that is associated with a higher risk of recurrence and a shorter
Total tumor cathepsin D (TCD) levels were determined prospectively by a radioimmunometric assay in tumor c y t o d of 858 primary breast cancer patients diagnosed between 1989-1991. In 581 of these patients, tumor HER-l/neu oncogene amplification was simultaneously determined. In a "traininset" of 3
