Abstract

Objectives: A significant proportion of high grade endometrial cancer (HGENCA) over-express HER2 (ERBB2) yet clinical trials have failed to demonstrate any anti-tumor activity utilizing trastuzumab. A truncated p95HER2 variant has been suggested to confer trastuzumab resistance in HER2 over-expressing breast cancer. We sought to characterize the relationship between total HER2 protein expression, HER2 gene amplification, and expression of the p95HER2 truncated variant in HGENCA.
