Background/Introduction: Gastric carcinoma is the second most common digestive tract cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. In Nigeria, it is a major contributor to cancer-related mortality. There is a recent interest in studying the benefits of targeted therapy in its management using anti-HER-2 monoclonal antibody because of the increased overall survival when used in combination with chemotherapy. Aim and Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of HER-2 over-expression in gastric carcinomas in Lagos, comparing it with known pathologic and prognostic factors and also with similar available studies. Materials and Methods: The clinical data were retrieved from two laboratories in Lagos (Lagos University Teaching Hospital and The Specialist Laboratories) involved in the study. Haematoxylin & Eosin slides were made from the patients’ formalin fixed paraffin embedded blocks and were reviewed to confirm diagnosis and pathological parameters. HER-2 over expression was assessed by staining with anti-HER-2 antibody. The data was analysed using SPSS 16 to correlate HER-2 over-expression and the pathological features of the carcinomas.
