23 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
HER2 gene amplification by fluorescence in situ hybridization and protein expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) have been used for prognosis and guiding treatment of invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast with trastuzumab. Accurate evaluation of HER2 status is important in the management of patients with candidacy for the HER2-targeting therapy. Despite previous studies, effects of polysomy of chromosome 17,...
