Abstract excerpt
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) protein overexpression is associated with HER2 gene amplification, a critical driver oncogenetic change in gastric cancer. HER2 heterogeneity in advanced gastric cancer is associated with a poor prognosis and affects the clinical efficacy of trastuzumab. However, the mechanisms of HER2 heterogeneity are not fully understood. Here, we examined whether HER2...
