HER2 and Breast Cancer

• Amplification or chromosomal region 17q12• RTK of the EGFR-family• HER2 is overexpressed and induces a state in

which proliferation and survival are increased• Several drugs are approved for molecularly

tailored treatment (trastuzumab and lapatinib)• They often induce resistance after 1-2 years of

treatment
