EGFR and HER2 expression in primary cervical cancers and corresponding lymph node metastases: Implications for targeted radiotherapy

Table 2 EGFR-scores for the analyzed primary cervical squamous cell carcinoma and the corresponding lymph node metastases (n = 53)

Primary tumor EGFR-scores	Lymph node metastases EGFR-scores
	0	1+	2+	3+
0	5	1	0	0
1+	1	10	2	0
2+	0	3	13	3
3+	1	0	4	10

The scoring was based on a scale where 0 corresponded to completely negative staining, 1+ corresponded to faint perceptible staining of the tumor cell membranes, 2+ corresponded to moderate staining of the entire tumor cell membranes and 3+ was strong circumferential staining of the entire tumor cell membranes creating a fishnet pattern
