Abstract excerpt
Although trastuzumab has been successfully used in patients with HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer, resistance is a common problem that ultimately culminates in treatment failure. In light of the importance of Akt signaling in trastuzumab's antitumor action, we hypothesized that concurrent inhibition of Akt could enhance trastuzumab sensitivity and moreover reverse the resistant phenotype in...
