Experimental Design: Blood was collected at treating MBC before (baseline), during, end treatment with erlotinib + gemcitabine...
BACKGROUND Increased soluble human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (sHER2) is an indicator of a poor prognosis in HER2‐positive metastatic breast cancer. In this study, the authors evaluated levels sHER2 during treatment and at time disease recurrence adjuvant North Central Cancer Treatment Group N9831 clinical trial. METHODS The objectives were to describe patients who randomized arms A (standard chemotherapy), B chemotherapy with sequential trastuzumab), C concurrent trastuzumab)....
Patients with HER2+ breast cancer treated trastuzumab and chemotherapy have superior survival compared patients alone. Polymorphisms within FCGR2A FCGR3A are associated binding affinity of natural killer cells to the IgG1 portion trastuzumab, a polymorphism in FCGR2B (I232T) is impaired regulatory activity. The association these polymorphisms clinical response among trastuzumab-treated equivocal, both positive negative associations. We performed genotyping analysis on V158F, R131H, I232T...
