Abstract
Increased serum Her-2/neu correlates with the presence of metastatic disease and it may indicate an increased risk of death in patients with castrate, metastatic prostate cancer. The detection of serum Her-2/neu is a minimally invasive alternative to tumor sampling for identifying potential candidates for anti-Her-2/neu treatment strategies. Further studies are needed to optimize this assay for application in the clinical setting.
