摘要: HER-2/neu has been found to be amplified or overexpressed in about 20-30% of breast cancers, association with negative prognosticators and shortened survival. Determination status breast-cancer patients, select for adjuvant treatment trastuzumab, is becoming standard clinical practice. This study aimed investigate by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR), allowing accurate precise quantification amplification tumor tissues. We evaluated 112 samples, which 42 (37.5%) had amplification. After a mean follow-up period 71 months, was significantly associated increased risk death (HR = 6.367, 95% CI 1.787-22.684), even after adjusting age, stage, size, lymph-node status, histologic grade. These findings support prognostic role suggest that PCR analysis represents an alternative technique establishing routine
