Abstract excerpt
EGFR and erbB-2 are targets for specific cancer therapy. The purpose of this study was to examine the frequency and clinicopathological correlations of gene amplification, protein expression, and mutations of EGFR and ERBB2 in serous carcinoma, the most common and aggressive type of ovarian cancer. Tissue microarray constructed of 398 carcinomas was examined by chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH) and by...
