Overexpression of HER-2/neu has significant effect on tumor occuring and development, it is associated with tumor inversion, metastasis, recuring, poorer prognosis and patient s shortening of life. HER-2/neu is overexpressed in approximately 20%~30% patients with breast cancer. The coding protein P185HER2 of HER-2/neu is a member of the human epidermal growth factor receptor family. Monoclonal antibody of P185HER2(Herceptin) is clinically used as a targeted drug for HER-2/neu overexpressed breast cancer. Key words: HER-2/neu; P185HER2; targeted therapy 2 (human epidermal receptor 2,HER-2/neu), 20%~30% HER-2/neu [1,2] HER-2/neu (trastuzumab Herceptin) [3-5] Herceptin HER-2/neu (overexpression) [6-8] 1 HER-2/neu HER-2/neu c-erbb Slamon Alex 1987 Slamon [9] HER-2/neu HER-2/neu 17q11~21 [10] 4.6 kb k (P185HER2) (receptor tyrosine kinase, * yupingch@sohu.com Tel
