Background; Breast cancer is the commonest malignancy and the second cause of cancer-related death in women worldwide. Understanding the underlying molecular biology of breast cancer allow better management to decrease its mortality. The S100 P is a member of S100 family of Ca2+ -binding proteins. Apoptosis is a physiologic mechanism of cell death that has been shown to play important role in cancer development. Bcl-2 is an anti-apoptotic gene that has the ability to block apoptotic signals, while Bax is another member of the Bcl-2 family that has an apoptosis-stimulating function. The aims of our study were to elucidate the prognostic role of S100P, bcl2 and bax in breast cancer, clarify the relation between their expressions and the prognosis of that type of cancer. Method: The plasma S100P levels ( by ELISA) and expressions of bcl2& bax ( by Immunohistochemistry) were evaluated in 90 women; 70 metastatic breast cancer patients (MBC), 12 primary breast cancer patients (PBC) and 8 healthy controls, thenwe assessed the prognostic value of S100P, bax, bcl2 in breast cancer patients. RESULTS: the plasma S100P level was nearly the same for PBC patients and controls, but was higher than that of MBC patients (p<0.001). There is significant correlations between the level of S100P with capsular invasion (p =0.018), stage, bcl2 and bax (P <0.001). In MBC there is a significant association between elevation of S100P level, number and site of metastasis (P<0.001). Bcl2 expressions in breast cancer patients had negative significant correlations with grade (P< 0.001), ki67 (P< 0.021), molecular subtype (P< 0.050), stage (P <0.001), and S100p (P<0.05), also its expression in MBC patients was statistically significant with number of metastasis (P=0.014). Bax high expression is statistically significant with grade (P=0.003), stage (P<0.001), ER (P<0.010), PR (P<0.023), Her-2 neu (P<0.002), but in MBC patients it is statistically significant with the site of metastasis (P=0.003). The plasma of S100P level is significantly correlated with response to therapy, disease progression (P<0.001) and Overall survival (OS) of patients (P=0.014). Bcl2 expression is significantly correlated with response to therapy (P <0.001), disease progression (P 0.004) and OS (P=0.014). Conclusion: S100P, BCL2 and bax are promising prognostic markers in breast cancer patients
