Abstract

Purpose: Patients with advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the stomach or esophagogastric junction for whom trastuzumab therapy is being considered, assessment for tumor human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) status is necessary. Can the HER2 status and Lauren classification of the biopsy sample truly represent the HER2 status in the gastric cancer?

Methods: Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections of 116 pair surgically resected and biopsy specimens as well as 80 pair primary and metastatic lesions of gastric cancer patients were analyzed. Protein expression was assessed using immunohistochemistry (IHC) and graded by the modified scoring criteria for gastric cancer. Gene amplification was evaluated by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in IHC 2+ cases.

Results: The positive rate of HER2 was 11.2% in both surgical and biopsy samples. The consistent rate of HER2 expression was 91.4% (106/116) between biopsy and surgical samples, P=0.666. The positive rate of HER2 was 20.5% in primary and 15.9% in metastatic samples, P=0.1876. The consistent rate of HER2 expression was 90.9% (40/44) between primary and metastatic samples, P=0.580. The consistent rate of Lauren classification was 64.7% (75/116) between biopsy and surgical sample, and 92.5% (74/80) between primary and metastatic samples.

Discussion: For gastric cancer, HER2 expression and Lauren classification were highly homogenous in biopsy and surgical samples, primary and their corresponding metastatic samples. The high concordance observed between these two cohorts indicated that the HER2 examination and Lauren classification of biopsy samples from the primary tumor could well represent the metastatic lesions of the patients.

Keywords: HER2, Gastric Cancer, Immunohistochemistry, FISH.
