Popis: | To determine the relationship between breast cancer progression and gene amplification, we screened 62 distant metastases and 122 primary breast tumours for the amplification of the proto-oncogenes MYC and ERBB2 and the 11q13 chromosomal region. Surprisingly, solid metastases showed an absence of gene amplification. These results suggest that the amplification of the proto-oncogenes MYC and ERBB2 and the 11q13 chromosomal region seem to be involved mainly in the genesis of the primary breast tumour rather than its progression.
