Abstract excerpt
IMPORTANCE: Preclinical models and studies in the metastatic and neoadjuvant settings suggest that single nucleotide polymorphisms in FCGR3A and FCGR2A may be associated with differential response to trastuzumab in the treatment of ERBB2/HER2-positive breast cancer, by modulating antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxic effects. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of FCGR2A and FCGR3A polymorphisms on trastuzumab...
