الملخص EN
The prognosis of gastric and oesophageal adenocarcinoma remains generally poor.
However, mounting evidence suggests a positive role of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) expression in the prognosis of patients with these cancers.
In this work, the patterns of HER-2 protein expression were determined in patients with gastric or oesophageal adenocarcinoma.
Retrospectively, we reviewed records of gastric and oesophageal biopsies received from 2008 to 2012 and their corresponding archived formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue blocks selected for immunohistochemical analysis.
The prevalence of gastric and oesophageal adenocarcinomas and their association with HER-2 protein overexpression were evaluated.
Gastric adenocarcinoma made up 18.79% of the gastric biopsies reviewed, and majority of these cancers occurred in males.
Regarding the tumour type, HER-2 overexpression was common in the intestinal subtype compared to the diffuse type.
Although squamous cell carcinoma was observed to be the commonest (31%) tumour type in the oesophagus compared to adenocarcinoma (8.79%), HER-2 was overexpressed in 42.9% of oesophageal adenocarcinomas, like gastric adenocarcinoma (41.4%).
There is a high prevalence of gastric and oesophageal adenocarcinoma, with significant overexpression of HER-2 in these tumours, a window of hope for the management of patients with these cancers.
