Most of the data regarding the signijcance of c-erbB-2 oncogene expression as a prognostic marker in breast cancer have been generated in many large retrospective studies by retrieving the corresponding oncoprotein in archival parafin em bedded sections. Recent@. employing fresh breast cancer cells
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
A system of histologic grade of malignancy in human breast carcinoma was devised by significantly modifying the way of evaluating number of mitoses and architectural atypia in the histologic grading of Bloom and Richardson. The modified grading system was applicable to all histologic subtypes of ade
