## Abstract Her‐2/__neu__ overexpression in human breast cancer leads to an aggressive biological behavior and poor prognosis. Although the anti‐Her‐2/__neu__ antibody trastuzumab (Herceptin®) has become a valuable therapeutic option for patients with Her‐2/__neu__‐overexpressing breast cancer, man
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Metronomic chemotherapy has been demonstrated to be of value in patients with advanced breast cancer. No reliable markers of response are available. In breast tumor, HER‐2/__neu__ is a prognostic factor, whereas no definite data exist for EGFR. The aim of the study was t
Expression of c-erbB-2 protein has been associated with poor prognosis and poor response to chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. In the present prospective study, we have analyzed whether c-erbB-2, p53 and P170 proteins may be determinants of tumor resistance in locally advanced breast cancer pat
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, HER‐1, and __erbB__1) is overexpressed in primary breast cancer and had been identified as a poor prognostic factor. ## METHODS. Pretreatment serum EGFR levels were quantified by using an enzyme‐linked immunoadsorbent assay in a
