Trastuzumab — Mechanism of Action and Use in Clinical Practice

Name: Work Video:
Duration: 3 min 30 s
Description: Overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2) in breast cancer is associated with decreased overall survival. Trastuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets HER2, is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for patients with invasive breast cancers that overexpress HER2. This review considers the mechanism of action and the use of this agent.
