Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) confers primary resistance to trastuzumab (Herceptin)
22 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
The rate of inherent resistance to single-agent trastuzumab in HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast carcinomas is impressive at above 70%. Unfortunately, little is known regarding the distinctive genetic signatures that could predict trastuzumab refractoriness ab initio. The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) molecular features, HER2 expression status and primary responses to trastuzumab were explored in...
