Abstract
The incidence of breast cancer ranks first among female malignant tumors that affect women's health. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family overexpression, especially human epidermal receptor2 (HER2), features prominently in breast cancer with a significant relation to poor prognosis. Currently, specific monoclonal antibodies and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the two HER2 targeting strategies that have successfully improved the prognosis of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. This paper focuses on three officially approved TKIs for HER2 breast cancer, namely, lapatinib, neratinib and pyrotinib, and systematically reviews the mechanism, safety, efficacy and resistance of these TKIs.
