GLUCOSE LEVELS OF PLEURAL EFFUSION FLUID AND HER2 STATUS IN PLEURAL-METASTATIC BREAST CANCER
Highlights • Patients with breast cancer who have distant metastases are frequently impacted by pleural effusion. • HER2 status was found to be substantially correlated with glucose levels in pleural effusion fluid.

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

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 ...
