To examine the proper margin for breast conservative surgery in Chinese women population. 40 breast cancer specimens were collected and each sample was dissected into several groups: primary tumor group, 1 cm paracarcinoma, 2 cm paracarcinoma, 3 cm paracarcinoma and excessive 3 cm paracarcinoma groups. The immunohistochemistry staining was performed to measure the expression levels of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), c-erbB-2, p53, estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR). The gene expressions of PCNA, c-erbB-2, and p53 gradually decreased with the increased distance from primary tumor (P 0.05) showed higher risk factors (c-erbB-2, p53) than the 3 cm and excessive 3 cm paracarcinoma groups (P 0.05). Beyond the paracarcinoma 2 cm distance, the tissues showed significant decreases in tumor gene expression, which could represent the appropriate region for breast conservative surgery.
