ER and HER2 expression are positively correlated in HER2 non-overexpressing breast cancer. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Estrogen receptor-α (ER) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positivity are inversely correlated by standard criteria. However, we investigated the quantitative relation between ER and HER2 expression at both RNA and protein

HER2 testing in breast cancer: Opportunities and challenges [PDF]
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is overexpressed in 15-25% of breast cancers, usually as a result of HER2 gene amplification. Positive HER2 status is considered to be an adverse prognostic factor. Recognition of the role of HER2 in breast

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

Loss of Nuclear ARID-1A Expressions Is Associated with Hormone Receptor Status in Breast Cancers
Objective:Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. Adenine thymine-rich interactive domain 1A (ARIDIA) is a tumor suppressor gene involved in chromatin remodeling and it encodes the ARIDIA protein. Recent studies have shown the loss

Re-evaluation of HER2 status in metastatic breast cancer and tumor-marker guided therapy with vinorelbine and trastuzumab [PDF]
Background: HER2 is overexpressed in 20 - 30% of breast cancers. Compared to chemotherapy alone, chemotherapy with trastuzumab improves clinical outcome in patients with HER2- positive metastatic breast cancer ( MBC). In general, HER2 status in a primary

[18F]FDG PET/CT volumetric biomarkers for non-invasive prediction of HER2 expression in breast cancer patients [PDF]
Objective(s): to investigate the capability of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ([18F]-FDG PET/CT) derived volumetric parameters to predict human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status in breast cancer ...
