Abstract excerpt
Lapatinib, a dual tyrosine kinase inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), is clinically active in patients with breast cancer positive for HER2 amplification. The mechanism of this anti-tumor action has remained unclear, however. We have now investigated the effects of lapatinib in HER2 amplification-positive breast cancer cells with or without an...
