  1. A total of 344 invasive ductal carcinomas were examined for expression of phospharylated Akt (P-Akt) and human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2. A binary scoring system (0,1 versus 2,3) was used to compare staining between samples. Patients who overexpressed HER-2 were more likely to express P-Akt also. Statistical analysis was derived through the χ2 test (P < 0.01).
