Comparison of tumour biomarker HER-2/neu (C-erbB-2) before and after surgery in breast cancer patients
Breast cancer is the most common cancer and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in women worldwide annually. The proto-oncogene Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor-2(HER-2/neu) (C-erbB-2) has been localized to chromosome 17q and encodes a transmembrane tyrosine kinase growth factor recep...

Breast cancer is the most common cancer and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in women worldwide annually. The proto-oncogene Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor-2(HER-2/neu) (C-erbB-2) has been localized to chromosome 17q and encodes a transmembrane tyrosine kinase growth factor receptor. The activation of the Her-2/neu oncogene triggers a cascade of growth signals that results in gene activation, which contributes the uncontrolled growth and survival of cancer cells. Molecular biomarker of cerb-B2 (HER-2/neu) is the prognostic indicator to predict the outcome for women with breast cancer. The cross sectional descriptive study was carried out on 31 breast cancer patients admitted to Surgical Department, Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan, Kuantan for breast cancer operation, between January, 2012 and July, 2013.
