25 Potential Molecular Mechanisms of Trastuzumab Resistance

26 The landmark development of trastuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting HER2, and other anti-her2 agents such as lapatinib, a reversible HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor, have changed the course of HER2-positive disease; however, a subset of patients will still relapse. Given this clinical reality, new anti-her2 agents with different mechanisms of action have been developed

58 Conclusions (1) Overexpression of the HER2 predicts a poor prognosis in breast cancer. HER2 signaling is initiated by receptor homodimerization or heterodimerization with ligand-bound HER1, HER3, and HER4. The introduction of HER2-targeted therapies, has significantly improved outcomes in HER2+ breast cancer compared with previously available therapies Despite the improvement in overall survival with the addition of HER2-targeted agents to chemotherapy, many patients do not benefit from these agents because of inherent resistance. In addition, many patients who achieve an initial response eventually acquire drug resistance.

59 Conclusions (2) New anti-her2 drugs have the potential to change clinical practice. The combination of pertuzumab plus trastuzumab plus a taxane, when used as first-line treatment for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, significantly prolonged progression-free survival and overall survival. T-DM1 is clearly distinct from trastuzumab; it is a cytotoxic agent, albeit one with an exceptional tolerability profile and has demonstrated clinical superiority in trastuzumab-pretreated and trastuzumab-and lapatinib-pretreated patients. T-DM1 is now been recognized as the preferred treatment option in second and third line for patients with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer
