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

MiR-18a-5p attenuates HER2-positive breast cancer development by regulating PI3K/AKT pathway
Objective: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2+) breast cancer (BC) is associated with poor prognosis. This study aimed to elucidate the role of miR−18a−5p in regulation of HER2+-BC progression along with its mechanism of action ...

Calmodulin binds HER2 and modulates HER2 signaling
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 ...

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

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
