Immuno-Histochemical Assessment of HER2NEU Expression in Gastric Adenocarcinoma in North Karnataka, India

Conclusion: HER2 positivity was noted in 23% of the cases. 23.4% of intestinal type and 21.7% of diffuse type were HER2 positive. HER2 positivity did not significantly depend on age, gender, tumour type, grade and stage. Hence, HER2 remains as an independent biomarker and should be tested in all patients of gastric cancer regardless of the clinicopathological findings for offering a personalized treatment.
