1 Anthracyclines target the enzyme topoisomerase IIalpha (TOP2A). Anthracyclines DNA topoisomerase II alpha Homo sapiens
2 We set out to perform a retrospective study of the presence of gene abnormalities and the expression of TOP2A in a cohort of breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant anthracycline-based chemotherapy. Anthracyclines DNA topoisomerase II alpha Homo sapiens
3 CONCLUSIONS: TOP2A expression is a marker of the tumor"s proliferation rate and sensitivity to anthracycline-based chemotherapy, and does not depend on the amplification of its gene. Anthracyclines DNA topoisomerase II alpha Homo sapiens
