Her-2/neu oncogene amplification in clinically localised prostate cancer.
AIM To examine the incidence of Her-2/neu oncogene amplification in clinically localised prostate cancer using in situ hybridisation. METHODS One hundred and seventeen patients, who had undergone radical prostatectomy, were identified and in situ hybridisation was performed on formalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded tissue using the Quantum Appligene probe for Her-2/neu. The enzyme peroxidase w...
متن کاملHuman breast cancer: correlation of relapse and survival with amplification of the HER-2/neu oncogene.
The HER-2/neu oncogene is a member of the erbB-like oncogene family, and is related to, but distinct from, the epidermal growth factor receptor. This gene has been shown to be amplified in human breast cancer cell lines. In the current study, alterations of the gene in 189 primary human breast cancers were investigated. HER-2/neu was found to be amplified from 2- to greater than 20-fold in 30% ...
متن کاملRisk of breast cancer according to the status of HER-2/neu oncogene amplification.
We examined risk factors for breast cancer after subdividing cases based on the presence of HER-2/neu oncogene amplification in their tumors. Data were from the Carolina Breast Cancer Study, a population-based, case-control study of 577 invasive breast cancer patients, diagnosed during 1993-1996 and ages 20-74 years, and 790 controls frequency-matched on race and age. Information on breast canc...
متن کاملInterlaboratory comparison of HER-2 oncogene amplification as detected by chromogenic and fluorescence in situ hybridization.
PURPOSE Chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH) is a new modification of the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique for detection of oncogene amplification in archival tumor samples. In CISH, the oncogene probe is detected using a peroxidase reaction, allowing use of transmitted light microscopy. We compared detection of HER-2/neu amplification by CISH with a Food and Drug Adminis...
متن کاملAnatomic Pathology / HER-2 GENE AMPLIFICATION IN BREAST CANCER
We compared fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), immunohistochemical analysis, immunocytochemical analysis, and relative quantification assays using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as methods for estimating HER-2 gene amplification and protein overexpression in fine-needle aspirate (FNA) specimens and paraffin-embedded tissue samples from 49 cases of breast cancer. FISH can be performed s...
