However, a correlation of borderline significance was observed between tumors with distant metastasis as contrasted to those with no metastasis ( p < 0.07).
However, a correlation of borderline significance was observed between tumors with distant metastasis as contrasted to those with no metastasis ( p < 0.07).
There was a strong association between Her2/neu protein levels and lymph node invasion ( p = 0.04), tumor stage ( p = 0.002), vascular invasion and borderline significance with distant metastasis ( p = 0.07).
By using the IHC score, the survival analysis showed a trend/tendency of high recurrence rate of cancer patients with high Her2 protein expression pattern as compared to patients who have cancer with low Her2 protein expression pattern.
Regarding the stage of the tumor, there was a highly significant correlation between expression patterns of Her2/neu protein and stage of the disease.
