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
