HER2 Inhibitor Sensitivity Markers
Marker Name Biological Role Evidence References
HER2 (ErbB2) Epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 Membrane receptor tyrosine kinase that phosphorylates itself to initiates a cascade of signaling events that lead to increased cell proliferation and survival Amplification of the HER2 gene is associated with trastuzumab response in ovarian and breast cancer
High protein expression is correlated with good response in breast cancer
