Abstract

Ocular metastasis (OM) in breast cancer (BC) always predicts poor prognosis. The present study explored differences in tumor markers in patients with BC with and without OM, and attempted to determine risk factors for OM in patients with BC. This study involved 629 patients with BC. Patients' clinical features were tested using χ2 test, unpaired Student's t‑test and Mann‑Whitney U. These parameters were analyzed using binary logistic regression to obtain risk factors for OM. A receiver operating characteristic curve was then established to determine the diagnostic value for OM. There were no significant differences in age, sex, menopausal state, and pathological type between the two groups. Significantly more axillary lymph node metastases were observed in the OM group compared with the non‑ocular metastases group. Cancer antigen 153 (CA153) was revealed to be a significant independent risk factor for OM in patients with BC. The cutoff CA153 value for diagnosis of OM was 43.00 u/ml, the sensitivity was 96.15% and the specificity was 96.02%. In conclusion, CA153 was demonstrated to be a risk factor for OM in patients with BC. High levels of CA153 were associated with OM in patients with BC.
