Objective: The primary objective of this study is to explore the significance of concurrent evaluation of HER2 gene amplification and p53 and Ki67 expression in gastric cancer tissues.
Methods: Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) methodologies were used to detect HER2 gene amplification, as well as the expression levels of HER2, p53, and Ki67 proteins, across a group of 78 gastric cancer cases.
Results: The expression rate of the HER2 protein was determined to be 43.

Breast cancer (BC) with average human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) signals/cell ≥6 and HER2/chromosome enumeration probe 17 (CEP17) ratio <2 (in situ hybridization [ISH] group 3) is very rare, accounting for 0.4% to 3.0% of cases sent for the dual-probe ISH assay.

Context.—: Human epidermal growth factor (HER2/neu) gene amplification, a poor prognostic factor in invasive breast cancer, has shown substantial utility as a predictive marker, with significantly improved survival following anti-HER2 therapies like trastuzumab. Dual-color dual in situ hybridization (D-DISH), a recently introduced fully automated assay for HER2/neu evaluation on light microscopy, has several advantages over fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).

Accurate measurement of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) copy number variation (CNV) is very important for guiding the tumor target therapy in breast cancer. Digital PCR (dPCR) is a sensitive and an absolute quantitative method, which can be used to detect HER2 CNV. Three HER2 exon-specific digital PCR assays along with three new reference genes assays (homo sapiens ribonuclease P RNA component H1 (RPPH1), glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI), and chromosome 1 open reading frame 43 (C1ORF43), on different chromosomes) were established and validated by using standard reference material, 8 different cell lines and 110 clinical Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples.

In order to study the important factors for evaluating the prognosis of breast cancer patients, a fluorescence microscopy-assisted fluorescence in situ hybridization technique was proposed. Compared with other detection techniques, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technology assisted by a fluorescence microscope has gradually gained favor in related fields due to its advantages of high detection specificity, high sensitivity, and strong experimental period. Combined with the basic overview of fluorescence microscopy and FISH technology, the advantages and application points of FISH technology assisted by fluorescence microscopy in the detection of the Her2 gene in breast cancer patients were studied and discussed.
