Amplification of the <i>TOP2A</i> gene does not predict high levels of topoisomerase II alpha protein in human breast tumor samples
22 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
Recent clinical trials have suggested that patients whose breast tumors overexpress HER2 may derive particular benefit from anthracycline-containing chemotherapy compared to that without anthracycline. It has been proposed that the HER2 gene amplification reported in these tumors might mask an underlying TOP2A gene amplification that occurs frequently and concurrently with HER2 amplification. Topoisomerase II...
