The HER2 receptor is a 195-kDa transmembrane glycoprotein with tyrosine kinase activity, and belongs in the human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) family consisting of four members. Moreover, aberrant HER2 protein over-expression has been linked to various human gynaecological adenocarcinomas, including breast, endometrium, ovary and cervix, and has been found to be a poor prognostic factor for survival. This new book presents topical research in the study of HER2, including targeting HER2 with photodynamic therapy; HER2 shedding as a biomarker in breast cancer; development of trastuzumab resistance and targeted nanomedicines conjugated with HER2 antibodies in cancer therapy.
