Clinical significance of Akt and HER2/neu overexpression in African-American and Latina women with breast cancer

10 Jan 2008

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Breast cancer patients with HER2/neu overexpression have poor outcomes with a decrease in disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival. The biology of HER2/neu overexpression in breast tumors in African-American and Latina women is poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to understand the clinical significance of activated Akt (phospho-Akt or pAkt) expression in breast tumors from...
