目的　研究乳腺癌患者雌激素受体（ER）、孕激素受体（PR）、人表皮生长因子受体2（HER-2）表达情况及免疫组织化学分子亚型分布。方法　对2003年1月－2008年9月四川大学华西医院病理科3 365例乳腺癌病理报告存档资料进行激素受体（ER/PR）、HER-2表达情况及免疫组织化学分子亚型分布进行分析。结果　3 365例确诊的乳腺癌患者中，ER阳性1 824例（54.2%），PR阳性1 841例（54.7%），HER-2过表达284例（8.4%）。相关分析显示ER与PR表达呈正相关（P＜0.001），HER-2与ER、PR表达均呈负相关（P＜0.001）。免疫组织化学分子亚型结果显示luminal A型最常见，为1 993例（59.2%）；basal-like型为623例（18.5%）；HER-2过表达型为169例（5.0%）；luminal B型最少，为115例（3.4%）；未分类的为465例（13.8%）。结论　乳腺癌患者激素受体及HER-2表达有特殊性，激素受体阳性率＞50%，HER-2阳性率在不同研究中显示出不同的结果，尚需进一步研究；ER、PR与HER-2具有良好的相关性；免疫组织化学分子亚型中luminal A型最常见。
