The New Ropanasuri Journal of Surgery

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy found in Indonesia. Core biopsy is one of the modalities used in breast cancer diagnosis with sensitivity of 91-99% and specificity of 96-100%. The procedure causes damage to tumor tissue thus causing tumor cells to enter circulation (CTC) and therefore acute inflammation and infiltration of inflammatory cells. In the final phase of infiltration, the number of Tregs cells will increase, as well as secretion of TGFβ and IL-10, creation of immunosuppresion microenvironment, COX2 stimulation by TGFβ then conversion of CD4+ T cells into FoxP3+ (Tregs), therefore the number of Tregs cells will …
