The c-erbB-2 gene (encoding the protein p185) is overexpressed in diverse human cancers and has been implicated to be of prognostic value in gastric cancer. Recent studies suggest a role of p185 in tumor progression by specifically promoting the invasive capacity of tumor cells. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the following three objectives: (1) to support the prognostic value of c-erbB-2 in gastric cancer in a large prospective series using a monoclonal antibody and a highly sensitive immunohistochemical method; (2) to determine the association of c-erbB-2 expression with the expression of invasion-related genes; and (3) to perform the first overall multivariate analysis including c-erbB-2 and the invasion-related tumor-associated protease systems.
