| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Intratumoral HER2 heterogeneity is ofted seen in gastric cancer. We evaluated an association between HER2 heterogeneity and trasutuzumab efficacy. We obtained new findings as follows; 1: When used surgical specimens, patients whose tumor homogeneously overexpressed HER2 protein had substantial benefit from trastuzumab. 2: When used biopsy specimens, similar results were obtained but its impact was modest compared with surgical specimens. 3: patients whose tumor heterogeneously overexpressed HER2 protein had modest benefit regardless types of tumor sample. HER2 heterogeneity in surgical specimens is useful biomarker as a positive predictor for anti-HER2 agents, while HER2 heterogeneity in biopsy specimens should be used as a negative predictor.
