Our results may suggest that trastuzumab should be given postoperatively to patients with TP53(−)/ERBB2(+) ovarian carcinomas to enhance PS, and after completion of chemotherapy to patients with complete remission and TP53(+)/ERBB2(+) carcinomas to extend DFS time (in total to 30.4% of all patients analysed). The gene discussed is TP53; the disease is carcinoma.
