Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (p185 HER2) oncoprotein immunohistochemical expression and DF3 antigen distribution were evaluated in 129 patients with primary breast cancer. p185 HER2 overexpession was positively correlated with the degree of differentiation, metastatic disease, progesterone receptors, and cytoplasmic distribution of DF3 antigen. p185 HER2 overexpression had prognostic significance for the disease-free interval.
