To determine if HER-2 positive (IHC 2+) and FISH negative esophageal squamous cell carcinoma could be responsive to Trastuzumab monotherapy, we tested Trastuzumab anti-tumor efficacy in 5 established PDECX mouse models with varying degrees of HER-2 expression and gene copy number. The gene discussed is ERBB2; the disease is neoplasm.
