Background of Trastuzumab

HER2 is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor which belongs to the family of the EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor), which is overexpressed in 25%–30% of human breast cancers. Trastuzumab is a humanized mAb directed against the extracellular domain of the tyrosine kinase receptor HER2. Trastuzumab has shown clinical activity in HER2-overexpressing breast cancers and, at present, is currently approved for patients whose tumours have this abnormality, in both the metastatic and the adjuvant setting.
