摘要: Purpose Approximately 35% of HER2-amplified breast cancers have coamplification the topoisomerase II-alpha (TOP2A) gene encoding an enzyme that is a major target anthracyclines. This study was designed to evaluate whether TOP2A alterations may predict incremental responsiveness anthracyclines in some cancers. Methods A total 4,943 were analyzed for and HER2. Primary tumor tissues from patients with metastatic cancer treated trial chemotherapy plus/minus trastuzumab studied amplification/deletion HER2 as test set followed by evaluation malignancies two separate, large trials changes these same genes validation set. Association between clinical outcomes determined. Results Test cases containing amplification doxorubicin cyclophosphamide (AC) plus trastuzumab, demonstrated longer progression-free survival compared those AC a...
