In situ HER2 RNA expression as a predictor of pathologic complete response of HER2- positive breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy and anti-HER2 targeted treatment
Abstract:Background
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) remain standard biomarkers for therapeutic decisions in human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancers (BCs); however, they are insufficient to explain the heterogeneous anti-HER2 response.
Methods
We aimed to investigate the correlation of in situ HER2 RNA expression (isHRE), using RNAscope, with HER2 biomarkers and the impact of isHRE on the pathological complete response (pCR) rates of 278 patients with HER2 IHC/fluoresc… Show more
