Abstract


This study evaluated the level of HER2 expression and its relationship with the endoscopic and histopathological features of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma. The cross-sectional descriptive research method was performed on 150 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma at K Hospital from January 2018 to December 2019. The study results showed that the rate of HER2 positive in 28.7% of gastric adenocarcinoma cases. According to the Borrmann classification, the rate of HER2 is positive in ulcerater (32.5%), fungating (27.8%),  infiltrates (16.7%) and polyp (0%), (p > 0.05). According to Lauren's histopathological classification, the rate of HER2 positivity in the indeterminate type (42.9%) is higher than that of the intestinal type (33%) and diffuse type (11.8%), (p < 0.05). According to the histological classification of the World Health Organization, the rate of HER2 positivity is in papillary (66.7%), mixed (42.9%), mucinous (38.9%), tubular (30.7%) and signet-ring cell (11.8%) with p < 0.05. Rate of HER2 positivity according to differentiation: Well-differentiated tumors (51.7%), moderately differentiated tumorrs (30.4%)  and poorly differentiated tumors (16,9%)  with p < 0.05. HER2 expression in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma is associated with histopathological characteristics according to the classification of Lauren and the World Health Organization.
