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...

This study was approved by Medical research and Ethics Committee, Ministry of Health Malaysia and all the participants gave their written informed consent. The pre- and post-operative serum Her2/neu protein level in all types of breast cancer was measured by ELISA method. Histological grading was done according to Modified Bloom and Richardson Grading2. The data was analysed by using SPSS version 11.5. In 31 patients, the ages ranged from 38 to 77 years with a mean of 54 years. The mean serum concentrations of Her2/neu protein before and after operation were 1.88+1.527 ng/ml and 1.31+0.994) ng/ml, respectively. Paired Sample T test showed there is a significant correlation between pre- and post-operative serum level of Her2/neu (p=0.004). Mann Whitney U test analysis showed the pre-operative serum level of Her2/neu protein was associated with vascular invasion (p=0.009).

High HER-2/neu protein expression is associated with more ductal carcinoma in situ, invasive cancer, high cell proliferation rate, lack of response to hormone therapy, aggressive clinical behavior, development of metastasis, treatment resistance, cancer progression, decreased chance of survival and poor prognosis. However, Her2/neu overexpression tumours response to herceptin. Although the duration of study is short and the small size is small, serum Her2/neu protein level in breast cancer may predict the prognosis, response to therapy, and will be able to assist in breast cancer management. 2014-06-11 Conference or Workshop Item NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/39424/3/IRIIE_2014-_Book_of_Abstracts.pdf application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/39424/5/IRIE_2014_B_001.jpg application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/39424/16/IRIE_2014.pdf application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/39424/19/IRIE_Abstract_2014.pdf Aung, Sanda and Mohd Noor, Noriah and Mohammad Amjad, Nasser and Abdullah, Nasuruddin and Phyu, Htike Myat (2014) Comparison of tumour biomarker HER-2/neu (C-erbB-2) before and after surgery in breast cancer patients.
