Correlation of HER-2 over-expression with clinico-pathological parameters in Tunisian breast carcinoma
BACKGROUND Breast carcinoma is a disease with a tremendous heterogeneity in its clinical behavior. Newer prognostic factors and predictors of response to therapy are needed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of HER-2, estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) in breast carcinoma and to compare it with other prognostic parameters such as histological type and grad...
متن کاملInvasive pleomorphic lobular carcinoma, negative for ER, PR and Her/2neu--a case report.
Pleomorphic variant of lobular carcinoma is a recently described variant of invasive lobular carcinoma. It is reported to be positive for estrogen receptors and progesterone receptors and over express Her2/neu in most cases. We present here a case of invasive variant of pleomorphic lobular carcinoma with coexisting classic and pleomorphic variants of lobular carcinoma in situ along with focal d...
متن کاملCorrelation of ER, PR, HER- 2 and P53 Immunoreactions with Clinico-Pathological Features in Breast Cancer
Background and Objectives: The most prevalent malignancy among women is known to be breast cancer (BC). Several factors contribute to determining tumor prognosis and treatment strategies. In this study, the frequency and relevance of these factors are discussed. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 214 patients with BC, who referred to the Cancer Institute of...
متن کاملHER-3 expression in HER-2-amplified breast carcinoma
AIM OF THE STUDY To determine whether the expression of HER-3 influences the survival of HER-2 positive patients with breast cancer (BC). MATERIAL AND METHODS In the present work, the expression of HER-3 in a group of 35 HER-2 positive patients with BC was studied by performing immunohistochemistry (IHC) in formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissues. RESULTS Higher HER-3 status if estimated b...
متن کاملReal-time RT-PCR: a complementary method to detect HER-2 status in breast carcinoma.
The option to treat patients presenting with HER-2 overexpressed invasive breast carcinoma with Herceptin requires quantitative determination of the HER-2 status. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the HER-2 mRNA expression levels using quantitative real-time RT-PCR (Q-RT-PCR) in tissue samples from 44 primary breast carcinomas and compare the results with immunohistochemistr...
