摘要: Amplification of the HER-2/neu oncogene and amplification topoisomerase IIα gene are important determinators response to chemotherapy in advanced breast cancer. Assays these genes usually carried out using primary tumor samples, because biopsies from metastatic lesions not taken. We studied concordance Her-2/neu tumors their metastases by immunostaining DNA situ hybridization. amplification, present 28% ( n = 46), was always associated with its metastasis. Conversely, no were seen without tumor. Topoisomerase II α copy status (amplification/deletion/unaltered) remained generally unchanged -positive tumors, but three cases, predominant cell population tissue only as a subpopulation conclude that measured reflects metastases. Minor discrepancies between may reflect evolvement amplicon structure successive divisions.
