Concomitant overexpression of theEGFR anderbB-2 genes in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is correlated with dedifferentiation and metastasis
20 Feb 1996
Abstract excerpt
Gene amplification or structural alteration of different erbB genes exerts a transforming effect in a variety of human neoplasms. Overexpression of the EGF receptor is associated with tumor initiation and progression of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, the role of erbB-2 in these processes remains unknown. We investigated 34 renal cell carcinomas for gene amplification and expression of the EGFR and erbB-2...
