Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression has been extensively studied, few studies have simultaneously examined EGFR expression and EGFR gene amplification. Here, we examined the correlations of EGFR expression with EGFR gene amplification, EGFR-activating mutations, and the expression of components of the Akt pathway. METHODS: Tumor tissues...
