ERBB2 and KRAS alterations mediate response to EGFR inhibitors in early stage gallbladder cancer

The uncommonness of gallbladder cancer in the developed world has contributed to the generally poor understanding of the disease. Our integrated analysis of whole exome sequencing, copy number alterations, immunohistochemical, and phospho‐proteome array profiling indicates ERBB2 alterations in 40% early‐stage rare gallbladder tumors, among an ethnically distinct population not studied before, that occurs through overexpression in 24% ( n = 25)...
