## BACKGROUND. Amplification of certain genes is involved in resistance to chertiotherapy. The development of such amplification in patients by drug treatment has not yet been established. We have assessed the appearance of gene amplification in breast cancer patients with recurrent disease. One g
Alterations in the gene copy numbers of the proto-oncogenes HERZ/neu and c-myc in primary human breast cancer investigated in 73 patients. We detected amplification of Hβ¬R2/ neu in 17 patient samples and amplification of c-myc in I I, while amplification of both was seen in 6 samples. There was no c
