Zusammenfassung

Her2 characterizes a distinct breast cancer progression pathway In breast carcinomas overexpression and amplification of ErbB2/Her2/neu gene has been shown to be of prognostic value, leading to the identification of the oncoprotein as a target for therapeutic strategies, such as the inhibition by trastuzumab (Herceptin). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying Her2 action in breast cancer and its role in the development of breast carcinoma is still incompletely understood. As in colon cancer a linear model of BC development was favored (Burstein et al. NEJM 350:1430–41, 2004) with hyperplasia, ductal carcin…
