ERBB2 and breast carcinoma: When the called gene alterations in the triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) group were compared with those in the luminal-like breast cancer group, there was a significantly high frequency of 28.17% (140/497) for ERBB2_SNA in a luminal-like group than in the TNBC group(16.95% (20/118)).We conclude that the early detection of PIK3CA mutations is likely to be important and might help therapeutic decision making in patients with HER2-low tumors.
