Droplet digital PCR using HER2/EIF2C1 ratio for detection of HER2 amplification in breast cancer tissues
3 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
Breast cancers with amplification and overexpression of human epithelial growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) are associated with poor prognosis, and targeted for anti-HER2 therapy. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) are currently the recommended methods to asses HER2 overexpression/amplification. Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR), a highly accurate method to quantify DNA copy number,...
