Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Salivary duct carcinoma overexpresses epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and HER-2, although the underlying mechanisms remain undefined. Because of the potential utilization of these markers as treatment targets, we evaluated protein and gene status by several techniques to determine complementary value. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: A tissue microarray of 66 salivary duct carcinomas was used for...
