Abstract / Description of output

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) expression is associated with increased risk of high-grade disease, nodal metastasis, and absence of estrogen receptors (ERs) in early breast cancer. We tested interactions between ER and HER-2 to determine if they may modulate breast cancer nodal metastasis and proliferation.
