Immunohistochemical expression of epidermal growth factor receptor in breast cancer

Abstract: Knowledge of a patient's immunohistochemical EGFR expression, which could be one of the key molecular findings related to molecular-targeting therapy, might be useful information to treat triple-negative breast cancer.

“…Based on well known knowledge that pathological nuclear grade (NG) has been considered to show a cellular proliferation potential of breast cancer (18) in addition to the incidence of TNBC with more aggressive potential of breast cancer (19,20), we recently suggested a cumulative scoring system (TGS) as a newly devised criteria to predict tumor recurrence and outcome of the patients with IDC by combination of NC and the incidence of TNBC with the results that TGS could classify prognosis and time to progression of the patients with breast IDC with a preferable stratification (4).…”

“…Moreover, the proportion of tumor recurrence in the abdominal organs including the gastrointestinal tract, ovary and peritoneum has been revealed to be higher in patients who have invasive lobular carcinoma (6,7), and it is well known that tumor recurrence is much more frequent in cases of triple negative breast cancer (8). Therefore, a meticulous follow-up may be mandatory.…”

“…TNBC accounts for the subgroup of breast cancer associated with aggressive behavior of the tumor and therefore the unfavorable prognosis of the patients [24], for which the definitive therapeutic strategies remain controversial [25]. Therefore the genetic features of TNBC have been investigated by using molecular and biological methodologies in order to identify the patients who would be treated with suitable therapeutic options [26].…”
