EGFR, HER2, and HER3 protein expression in paired primary tumor and lymph node metastasis of colorectal cancer

Abstract: Due to the difficulty in sampling of metastatic tumors, patient selection is commonly based on results of primary tumor samples when metastatic samples are not available. However, due to tumor heterogeneity, metastatic tumors may be different from primary tumors in their phenotypes. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of EGFR, HER2, and HER3 between primary and lymph node metastatic lesions of colorectal cancer. Paired primary tumors and lymph node metastases from 79 patients with colorecta… Show more

“…Accordingly, kinase inhibitors targeting the elevated pathways are promising candidates against cancer [ 2 ]. Indeed, overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR or ErbB1) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2 or ErbB2) belonging to the ErbB family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) is commonly detected in several solid tumors [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. In addition, EGFR and HER2 have been validated as rational targets for cancer-related treatment [ 7 ].…”
