BACKGROUND/AIMS: HER-2/neu (c-erbB-2) oncoprotein is a transmembrane glycoprotein and may function as a growth factor being involved in the regulation of cell growth and cell transformation. c-erbB-2 was correlated with established outcome factors in pancreatic cancer.
We performed an analysis of 100 patients with pancreatic cancer using an immunoperoxidase technique on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples in order to determine HER-2/neu oncoprotein expression along with stage and perineural involvement.
HER-2/neu oncoprotein was expressed in the tumors of 21 patients (21%).
Histologic stage, and perineural invasion did not correlate with HER-2/neu oncoprotein.
背景/目的:HER-2/neu(c-erbB-2)癌蛋白是一种跨膜糖蛋白,可能作为一种生长因子参与细胞生长和细胞转化的调节。c-erbB-2与胰腺癌已确定的预后因素相关。
我们采用免疫过氧化物酶技术,对100例胰腺癌患者福尔马林固定、石蜡包埋的组织样本进行分析,以确定HER-2/neu癌蛋白表达情况以及分期和神经周围侵犯情况。
21例患者(21%)的肿瘤中表达了HER-2/neu癌蛋白。
组织学分期和神经周围侵犯与HER-2/neu癌蛋白不相关。
