<i>HER2</i> Amplification and Overexpression Is Not Present in Pediatric Osteosarcoma: A Tissue Microarray Study
1 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
The HER2 gene, located on 17q, encodes a 185-kD transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor. Amplification of this gene with overexpression of the gene product occurs in about 30% of cases of breast cancer and is considered to be a poor prognostic indicator for this tumor. Results for HER2 expression in osteosarcoma are controversial, with some studies reporting up to 61% of positive cases and others reporting only...
