We explore the value of HER2 and p53 status to foretell docetaxel sensitivity in advanced breast cancer. Methods HER2 and p53 expression was analysed in 36 median age 55 yrs range 37-87 metastatic breast cancer patients receiving docetaxel-based first-line chemotherapy. HER2 was determined by immunohistochemistry IHC and fluorescence in situ hybridization FISH p53 was tested by IHC. We correlate the expression of study parameters with pathologic parameters RECIST response and survival. The standard cut-off value of 2 was used to determine HER2 overexpression while p53 mean expression level was used to divide low high expressors tumors. Results Median time to progression and overall survival were 9 range 2 - 54 and 20 range 3 - 101 months. Overall response rate was . Nine cases showed HER2 overexpression. HER2 was more frequently overexpressed in less differentiated p and higher stage p disease. Mean FISH-HER2 values were significantly higher in responder than in .
