Quiz on Identifying HER2-Positive Breast Cancer: Can You Spot the Overexpressed Protein?

Dear doctors, participate in this fun and exciting quiz on HER2-Positive breast cancer. Identifying HER2-positive breast cancer involves detecting overexpression of the HER2 protein, which promotes cancer cell growth. This subtype is typically diagnosed using immunohistochemistry (IHC) or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) tests. Accurate identification is crucial for selecting targeted therapies, significantly impacting treatment efficacy and patient outcomes. Participate now.

1. HER2-positive breast cancer is characterized by an overexpression of the HER2 protein, which is commonly assessed through immunohistochemistry (IHC).

2. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a more sensitive method than immunohistochemistry (IHC) for detecting HER2 gene amplification.

3. HER2-positive breast cancer can be classified as a luminal subtype in the molecular classification of breast cancer.

4. The presence of HER2 overexpression in breast cancer indicates a higher likelihood of response to trastuzumab (Herceptin) therapy.

5. HER2-positive status in breast cancer is determined solely by the presence of HER2 gene amplification and does not require protein expression evaluation.
