Detection of ERBB2 Amplification by Next-Generation Sequencing Predicts HER2 Expression in Colorectal Carcinoma
27 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: ERBB2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 [HER2]) amplification/overexpression in colorectal carcinomas (CRCs) may predict response to HER2 inhibitors. We correlated ERBB2 amplification by next-generation sequencing (NGS) with HER2 overexpression by immunohistochemistry. METHODS: NGS was performed on specimens containing 20% or more tumor. HER2 immunohistochemistry (clone SP3) was scored...
