EGFR	1956	17549377	-	Up regulation/ Over expression/High expression	-	-	12 (n=2; proliferative; n=2; secretory phase; n=8; atrophic endometria)	25	50 to 80	61	Second Department of Gynecology; Lublin University School of Medicine; Lublin; Poland	I (n=20); II (n=1); III (n=2); IV (n=2)	1 (n=7); 2 (n=11); 3 (n=7)	[1] erbB-1 mRNA was overexpressed in 48% (12/25) of the analysed tumor. [2] The level of expression appeared to be significantly higher in the malignant tumors as compared to the benign ones for erbB-1 (p=0.0001). A significant correlation between erbB-1 overexpression and tumor differentiation was found (Spearman rank correlation test; p<0.001). Concomitant erbB-1 and erbB-2 overexpression was detected only in 1 out of 25 (4%) uterine neoplasms. erbB-1 was overexpressed in a sarcoma botryoides of the uterine cervix. The data suggest that erbB-1/erbB-2 overexpression is a direct effect of higher than normal transcriptional activity of the encoding genes in a subset of human endometrial carcinomas.

EGFR	1956	8104681	Endometrial adenocarcinoma + Papillary Serous carcinoma	-	-	-	-	32 (Endometrial adenocarcinoma) + 2 (Papillary Serous carcinoma)	-	-	-	I (n=17); II (n=4); III (n=13)	1 (n=12); 2 (n=14); 3 (n=6)	[1] The expression of EGFR in addition to c-erbB-2 protein is more frequently observed with advancing stage of disease and is inversely correlated with the grade of differentiation and with the expression of ER or PR of the tumor. [2] The incidence of EGFR positivity in G3 tumors was sig- nificantly higher than that in G1 tumors (P < 0.05). [3] Of the 34 endometrial carcinomas; 22 (64.7%) were cerbB-2 protein-positive and EGFR-negative; 8(23.5%) were positive for both c-erbB-2 protein andEGFR; and the remaining 4 were negative forboth proteins. Of the 22 patients with c-erbB-2 proteinpositiveand EGFR-negative disease; 12 had FIGOStage I(12 of 17 Stage I; 70.6%); 2 had Stage I1 (2 of 4Stage 11; 50%); and 8 had Stage 111 disease (8 of 13 Stage111; 61.5%). Of the eight patients with c-erbB-2 proteinpositiveand EGFR-positive disease; two had Stage 1(2of 17 Stage I; 11.8%); one had Stage I1 (1 of 4 Stage 11;25%); and five had Stage I11 disease (5 of 13 Stage 111;38.5%)	Expression of c-erbB-2 protein and epidermal growth receptor in endometrial carcinomas.
