| Abstract | Immunoreactivity for c-erbB-2 oncogene product expression has been investigated in patients with breast cancer using the polyclonal antibody 21N. Three series of patients were studied, 602 presenting with primary operable cancer, 57 with stage 3 and 123 with stage 4 disease. Representative tissue sections of each primary tumour were stained using a standard immunoperoxidase technique. Invasive tumour membrane immunoreactivity was assessed and identified in 15% of patients with primary operable cancer and 20% in the advanced breast cancer group. The results demonstrate a relationship between poorer survival and oncogene expression in all three patient groups. Patients in the primary operable cancer group with membrane oncoprotein expression had a poorer outcome, 35% 10-year survival, compared with those in which membrane expression was absent, 55% 10-year survival. The median survival of patients with stage 3 disease with c-erbB-2 membrane positivity was 17 months compared to 24 months with membrane negativity. In stage 4 disease median survival with membrane expression was 8.8 months compared to 19.7 months with no membrane expression. In addition in the series of primary cancers a correlation existed between histological grade and membrane immunoreactivity. Multivariate analysis showed histological grade to be a more powerful prognostic factor than c-erbB-2 protein expression. In conclusion, this study demonstrates, in a large series of patients presenting to one centre, that c-erbB-2 protein expression is a prognostic indicator in patients with primary operable and advanced breast disease. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
