Ampliยฎcation of the c-erbB2 oncogene and numerical aberrations of chromosome 17 occur in human breast carcinomas. Apocrine adenosis (AA) of the breast has been shown occasionally to have c-erbB2 overexpression and a possible premalignant potential, but little is known about cellular level genetic al

Our recent studies using comparative genomic hybridization showed that gain or amplification at the 17q12-q21 region is very common in the intestinal type of gastric cancer. Here, we describe a fluorescence in situ hybridization study with gastrin (GAS)-specific and ERBB2-specific probes on ten spec
Amplification of the int-2 oncogene was measured in a series of breast tumours and related to amplification of the c-myc and c-erbB-2 oncogenes, histopathological features and relapse-free and overall survival. int-2 was amplified in I I%, c-myc in 20% and c-erbB-2 in 27% of the tumours assessed. in
The c-erbB-2 proto-oncogene is amplified in a high percentage of primary human breast tumors, suggesting that the overexpression of this gene may be involved in the development of human breast cancer. We have investigated five human breast tumor cell lines and have detected amplified c-erbB-2 gene c
## Abstract Sixty DNA samples from breast carcinoma (BC) patients were analyzed by Southern blot to examine certain oncogene and antiโoncogene alterations. Amplification of the HERโ2 oncogene was detected in 15 tumours (25%), cโmyc in 2 (3%) only and HERโ1 in none. Distribution of Hrasโ1 oncogene a
Overexpression of gp185 erbB-2 has been associated with reduced survival in breast-cancer patients. Our earlier results, now confirmed in a larger cohort of patients ( ), evidenced that the HLA-A2 allele may participate in the modulation of the erbB-2 tumor phenotype in vivo. In the present study, w
