Abstract
Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) represents a significant advancement in the treatment of HER2(+) breast cancers. Its clinical efficacy however will be limited by the development of therapeutic resistance. In this report, the HER3 ligand neuregulin is shown to mediate T-DM1 resistance, which was overcome by administration of pertuzumab, a steric inhibitor of HER2 dimerization. ©2013 AACR.Entities:
