Approved HER2-Targeted Drugs. HER2-directed therapy is implemented in the management of nearly all stages of HER2-positive invasive breast
HER2-targeted therapies and HER2-positive breast cancer. HER2-positive breast cancers have a lot of a protein called HER2 on the surface of their cells. The HER2 protein is an important driver of cell growth and survival. HER2-targeted therapies are designed to treat HER2-positive breast cancers.
HER2-positive breast cancers have a lot of a protein called HER2 on the surface of their cells. The HER2 protein is an important driver of cell growth and survival. HER2-targeted therapies are used to treat HER2-positive breast cancers. They have no role in the treatment of HER2-negative cancers. Testing for HER2 status

The co-expression of endocrine receptors and HER2, albeit associated with resistance to hormonal and anti-HER2 therapy, resulting in worse prognosis, creates an opportunity of combination treatment, consisting of anti-HER2 drugs and ET, in particular when dual HER2-blockade is used.
