Abstract
Breast cancer patients who have a positive result for HER2 overexpression are commonly treated with Herceptin, a HER2-targeted therapy. In the present study, the BrightGen HER2 RT-qDx (Syantra, Calgary, Canada), which is based on a one-tube nested RT-qPCR method that detects HER2 mRNA overexpression, was clinically evaluated in a total of 237 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples from breast cancer patients. Among the 38 HER2 positive samples, which were determined via IHC/FISH methods, 13 samples out of 16 (81.3%) that were IHC2+/FISH+ and 22 samples out of 22 (100%) that were IHC3+ have been decided positive for HER2 expression via the RT-qPCR method. The true positivity and false positivity results for the RT-qPCR were 92% (35/38) and 2% (1/65), respectively. The concordance between RT-qPCR and IHC results and RT-qPCR and IHC/FISH was 87.2% and 92.1%, respectively. Conclusively, the BrightGen HER2 RT-qDx may be a reliable and convenient method that can supplement traditional IHC and FISH methods for efficient use of trastuzumab.
