抄録 <Purpose>
The purpose of this study is to investigate various genes mutations and protein overexpression in biliary tract cancer(BTC), in order to establish most optimal molecular targeted therapy.
<Method>
In 63 surgical cases of BTC, DNA was extracted from formalin fixed paraffin-embedded sections samples. Various genes mutations(KRAS, BRAF, PIK3CA, Fbxw7)were examined using polymerase chain reaction(PCR)on DNA. Protein revelations(EGFR, HER2, TP53)were also examined by Immunohistochemistry(IHC).
<Result>
Nine mutations were identified within KRAS. The over all survival of KRAS mutation-positive cases was significantly worse than that of KRAS mutation-negative cases(P=0.005).
However, no mutations were identified in BTC within BRAF, PIK3CA, and Fbxw7. EGFR overexpression was found in 5 tumors. EGFR overexpression was associated with early Stage(P=0.027). HER2 overexpression was found in 14 tumors. HER2 overexpression was occurred in gallbladder cancers more frequently than in bile duct cancers(P=0.035).
<Conclusion>
The KRAS mutation can be a biomarker indicating poor prognostic factor. The usefulness of HER2-targeted agent for HER2-positive gallbladder cancer is suggested.
