Description
A subgroup of HER2-positive breast cancer patients that received first-line trastuzumab treatment were assessed for PTEN loss via IHC of FFPE samples. 46 samples showed PTEN loss while 41 did not, and PTEN loss alone was found to be significantly associated with resistance to trastuzumab (p=0.028) and shorter overall survival (p=0.008).
