Core Tip |
The manuscript investigated the prevalence of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) protein overexpression and gene amplification in a large series of surgically resected colorectal adenocarcinomas (CRCs), and evaluated their relationship with clinicopathological parameters and prognosis. We found that HER2 overexpression [immunohistochemical staining (IHC) score 2+ and 3+] is seen in a small percentage of colorectal adenocarcinomas and HER2 gene amplification occurs in the vast majority of tumors with 3+ IHC score but in a much lower percentage of tumors with 2+ IHC score. In addition, although the prevalence of HER2 overexpression by IHC in CRCs is low, HER2 protein status is correlated with clinical outcomes and positive HER2 expression by IHC confers a worse prognosis in 65 years or younger patients with tubular adenocarcinomas. |
