Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Different molecular subtypes, including HER2-positive, have been identified in breast cancer. The overexpression of HER2 triggers downstream signaling pathways such as the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Until recently, trastuzumab has been used as a single HER2-targeted therapy in Egypt. However, resistance to trastuzumab has been reported. Previous studies have demonstrated the genetic variants that affect...
