Abstract excerpt
HER2-positive breast cancers are a heterogeneous group of tumors, which share amplification and overexpression of HER2. In routine diagnostics, the HER2 (ERBB2) status is currently assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH). Data on targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches that could be used to determine the HER2 status are sparse. Employing two breast cancer-related gene...
