Abstract: The purpose of this research was to explore whether expression of carbonic anhydrase 12 (CA12) and prognosis are significantly related in breast cancer patients. A total of 262 breast cancer specimens and 75 normal breast tissue specimens were used in this study. The expression of CA12 was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and its correlation with the clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer patients and their prognosis were further analyzed through standard statistical algorithms. The results of immunohistochemical staining showed that CA12 was detected in both normal breast tissue and breast cancer tissue. Compared to normal breast tissue, CA12 was significantly higher expressed in cancer tissues (p=0.009). Statistical analysis showed that the high expression of CA12 in breast cancer tissue was related to estrogen receptor expression level (p
