Tumor Characteristics and Survival Rate of HER2-Low Breast Cancer Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
In this large-scale cross-sectional study, we evaluated disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and clinicopathological characteristics of BC patients from 1991 to 2022, retrospectively. We recruited patients referred to the Cancer Research Center in Tehran, Iran, and their HER2 status, which is classified as HER2-low, HER2-positive, or HER2-negative, was obtained from prospectively maintained registries. we aimed to dive more deeply into the clinicopathological characteristics and survival features of HER2-low breast cancer patients and campared it with HER2-negative and HER2-positive groups.
Question 1: Is HER2-low breast cancer (BC) a new subtype in the standard classification of BCs? Question 2: How is the DFS and OS rate of HER2-low breast cancer patients in comparison with HER2-negative and HER2-positive groups?

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
HER2-low patients with HER2 IHC1+ and HER2 IHC2+/ISH-negative in their pathology |
Diagnostic Test: immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) Test
These tests are usually applied for breast cancer patients to assist the surgeon to better understand the clinicopathological characteristics and survival features of tumors
|
HER2-negative patients with HER2-zero in their pathology |
Diagnostic Test: immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) Test
These tests are usually applied for breast cancer patients to assist the surgeon to better understand the clinicopathological characteristics and survival features of tumors
|
HER2-positive patients with HER2 IHC2+/ISH-positive and HER2 IHC 3+ in their pathology |
Diagnostic Test: immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) Test
These tests are usually applied for breast cancer patients to assist the surgeon to better understand the clinicopathological characteristics and survival features of tumors
