Comparison of HER-2/ neu Oncogene Amplification Detected by Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization in Lobular and Ductal Breast Cancer
1 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Abnormal expression of the HER-2/neu oncogene, a tyrosine kinase-type transmembrane growth factor receptor localized to chromosome 17q, has been associated with poor prognosis and the prediction of therapy response in invasive breast cancer. The comparative incidence and significance of HER-2/neu gene amplification for lobular and ductal breast cancer have not been previously characterized. DESIGN:...
