Description
While some reports indicate PTEN loss is associated with resistance to trastuzumab, in a subgroup of HER2 breast cancer FFPE samples from patients receiving trastuzumab as later line therapy (second or greater line therapy), with 25 PTEN loss and and 25 normal samples, no association was seen between trastuzumab response and PTEN status (p=1.000) or overall survival and PTEN status (p=0.863).
