Editor's Notes
Overexpression of the HER2 protein is a common molecular alteration in a number of human tumors. The overexpression is thought to result most frequently from the presence of multiple (i.e. more than 2) copies of the HER2/neu gene sequence ( gene amplification ) which are transcribed into multiple copies of RNA, and subsequently translated into abnormally high levels of the HER2 receptor protein ( protein over-expression ). HER2 protein density in tumor cells is 10- to 100-fold greater than in cells of the adjacent normal breast epithelium.
Primary objective of study: To determine whether adjuvant hormonal therapy (ie, experimental arm) is not inferior to adjuvant chemohormonal (standard arm) for patients in the “primary study group” (Oncotype DX RS 11-25)
