• Objective: To review the diagnosis and management of HER2-positive breast cancer. • Methods: Qualitative review of the literature. • Results: Amplification of HER2 occurs in 20% to 25% of breast cancers and is associated with highgrade tumors that are poorly differentiated and have higher rates of recurrence. Trastuzumab, a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody against the extracellular d...
متن کاملCurrent neoadjuvant treatment options for HER2-positive breast cancer
Approximately one quarter of patients with breast cancer demonstrate amplification of the human epidermal receptor type 2 (HER2) gene, the expression of which is associated with a relatively poor prognosis independent of other clinical and pathologic variables.

متن کاملNeoadjuvant Therapy for HER2-positive Breast Cancer.
In HER2-positive early breast cancer, neoadjuvant treatment with a combination of sequential chemotherapy and HER2-targeted therapy is currently the standard of care. This is followed by breast surgery, radiotherapy (if indicated), completion of 12 months of HER2-directed therapy, and - depending on the tumor biology - endocrine adjuvant therapy, and ultimately follow up. 10-year survival rates...
