HER-2/neu gene amplification characterized by fluorescence in situ hybridization: poor prognosis in node-negative breast carcinomas.
1 Aug 1997
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The HER-2/neu gene codes for a membrane receptor protein that is homologous, but distinct from the epidermal growth factor receptor. This investigation was performed to validate fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) as a sensitive and specific method for assessing HER-2/neu gene amplification in archival tissue and to test whether this alteration is associated with poor prognosis. MATERIALS AND...
