Abstract
Introduction: Ovarian carcinomas are the chief cause of death among women. Presently so many biomarkers are accessible for the early detection of the ovarian carcinomas like P53, EGFR, Ki67, CK, HER 2/ Neu. In this study we analyze the prognostic significance of HER 2/Neu in various surface epithelial ovarian tumors. Aims of the study: To know the prognostic significance of HER-2/Neu in surface epithelial ovarian tumor. Materials and Methods: The Present study was conducted in Rajah Muthiah Medical College and Hospital, Chidambaram.10 cases were randomly selected. Ovarian tumour that occurred from May 2013 to April 2018. Immunohistochemical analysis was done with HER2/Neu receptor marker for the 10 cases.
