Objective: This study examined the potential risk value of the serum albumin to globulin ratio (AGR) in patients with breast cancer (BC). Methods: This study employed a retrospective design, enrolling 332 patients with BC and 38 patients without BC treated at Taizhou People’s Hospital between September 2015 and May 2021. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to identify potential risk factors. A prognostic nomogram was developed based on the multivariate analyses. The receiver operating characteristic curve determined the optimal cutoff value for AGR. Results: The results indicated a statistically significant decrease in AGR among patients with BC. Significant disparities were observed in globulin and AGR levels between the two cohorts. AGR was significantly associated with tumor size and stage, with a marked decline in advanced stages of BC. Additionally, AGR and aspartate transaminase/Alanine aminotransferase (AST/ALT) emerged as significant diagnostic indicators for invasive carcinoma and advanced stages (II–IV) of BC. Specifically, AGR exhibited an area under the curve of 0.645 (P < 0.003), highlighting the discriminatory capacity of serum globulin levels in distinguishing between BC and non-BC cohorts. Conclusions: The AGR, routinely assessed due to its simplicity, objectivity, and cost-effectiveness, holds promise as a potential risk factor for BC and may have practical implications in clinical settings.

Purpose: The complicated pathogenesis and poor prognosis of breast cancer have become a major difficulty in medical research. This study aims to explore new lncRNA as prognostic markers for breast cancer and explore their roles and molecular mechanisms to lay a foundation for the treatment of cancer patients. Patients and Methods: The expression of LINC02418 and miR-766-5p in breast cancer tissues and cells was first identified using polymerase chain reaction, and Pearson was used to examine the correlation between the two. The cancer cells activities under different transfection conditions were detected using the Transwell assay and CCK8 assay. The correlation between LINC02418 and patient prognosis was analyzed using multifactor Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier. Results: It was shown that LINC02418 expression was upregulated in breast cancer tissues and cells. There are significant differences in lymph node metastasis and TNM stage between high and low LINC02418 expression groups. The higher the expression of LINC02418, the higher the mortality rate of breast cancer patients. miR-766-5p expression was downregulated and negatively correlated with LINC02418. There are binding sites between LINC02418 and miR-766-5p; Transfection with miR-766-5p inhibitor boosted LINC02418 luciferase activity, but transfection with miR-766-5p mimic decreased it. Knockdown of LINC02418 promoted miR-766-5p expression and inhibited cancer progression, which was alleviated to some extent by transfection with miR-766-5p inhibitors. Conclusion: LINC02418 has the potential to serve as a poor prognostic marker for breast cancer and plays a pro-oncogenic role by targeting miR-766-5p.
