Scientific Background: | The epidermal growth factor type II receptor, c-erbB2 (HER-2; neu), is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor known to play an important role in coordinating the complex ErbB signalling network and to be involved in the development of breast cancer. When c-erbB-2 is overexpressed at high levels, ligand-independent activation of the c-erbB-2 receptor results in an increased mitogen-activated protein kinase and PI(3)K cell signalling, leading to increased cell proliferation. Overexpression of c-erbB-2 has been associated with resistance to chemotherapy and poor survival in several human tumors. |
