| Research Abstract |
Overexpression of the EGFR proteins and ErbB-2 proteins were examined by immunohistochemistry in seventeen malignant pleural mesothelioma. Overexpression of ErbB-2 was found in 11.7% of tumors and was not associated with gene amplification. Overexpression of EGFR was found in 5.8% of tumors and was not associated with gene amplification.
