Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although overexpression, amplification, and somatic mutation of the HER2 gene have been noted in various types of human cancers, we report here for the first time that novel mutations and amplification of the HER2 gene occurred concomitantly in mucinous epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). METHODS: Twenty-seven tissue microarray samples from EOC patients were analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) with...
