Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 expression and socio-demographic, clinical, and histopathological characteristics in gastric carcinoma at St Francis Hospital Nsambya, Uganda
HER2 overexpression in gastric carcinoma was low. Nevertheless, the findings underscore the importance of routine HER2 testing and access to targeted therapy. Observed associations point to potential high-risk groups warranting further investigation in larger, multicenter studies.
