Comparison of tumors with HER2 overexpression versus HER2 amplification in HER2-positive breast cancer patients [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2022
Abstract Background Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive tumors are defined by protein overexpression (3+) or gene amplification using immunohistochemistry (IHC) or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), respectively.

Bone metastases of breast cancer: The influence of hormone receptors and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 [PDF]

open access: yesMedicinski Podmladak
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide. While significant progress has been made in the prophylaxis, diagnosis, and management of breast cancer, around 90% of deaths occur due to metastatic disease, which is ...

HER2 and ESR1 mRNA expression levels and response to neoadjuvant trastuzumab plus chemotherapy in patients with primary breast cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Introduction: Recent data suggest that benefit from trastuzumab and chemotherapy might be related to expression of HER2 and estrogen receptor (ESR1). Therefore, we investigated HER2 and ESR1 mRNA levels in core biopsies of HER2-positive breast carcinomas

Targeting HER2 in breast cancer: new drugs and paradigms on the horizon

open access: yesExploration of Targeted Anti-tumor Therapy, 2021
About 15–20% of all breast cancers (BCs) are defined human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive, based on the overexpression of HER2 protein and/or amplification of ERBB2 gene.

HER2 overexpression is a putative diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for late-stage colorectal cancer in North African patients

open access: yesLibyan Journal of Medicine, 2021
Aim: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading cancers in the world. Even though its mortality and pathophysiology are well documented in the US and the European countries, it is seldom studied in North African population.

Calmodulin binds HER2 and modulates HER2 signaling

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2011
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), a member of the ErbB family of receptor tyrosine kinases, has defined roles in neoplastic transformation and tumor progression. Overexpression of HER2 is an adverse prognostic factor in several human neoplasms and, particularly in breast cancer, correlates strongly with a decrease in overall patient ...
