Of the 17 patients responded, 16 appeared to have combined a signature of gene expression, ErbB1, ErbB2 and ErbB3. There was no association of ErbB4, PTEN or c MYC observed.

The advantage of negative HER2-positive disease, ER and PGR negative and has seen a strong biological reasons that these tumors are dependent Ngig of ErbB signaling pathways for the survival and progression. The results were statistically significant additional benefit of adding lapatinib in HER2-positive disease and ER-negative PgR negative and HER2-negative, weakly positive ER-positive disease and PGR.
In the negative HER2-positive, ER, PgR negative MBC, lapatinib conferred a worse outcome. No significant benefit was observed in the cohort of triple negative cancer, despite the theoretical sensitivity due to the increased expression of EGFR Ht in this subgroup and EGFR inhibition by lapatinib. Although most patients had negative tests for EGFR immunohistochemistry, the majority was negative with a positive result, three diseases. And future role in the treatment of lapatinib The place will be refined with further study of lapatinib in the management of MBC. Lapatinib is active and well tolerated Possible and lead patients receiving chemotherapy and trastuzumab. There are biological reasons and clinical evidence for the use of double EGFR/HER2 targeted agents in her 2-positive disease support. The r Of lapatinib in HER2-negative cancer remains uncertain. EGFR expression status did not correlate with the response. In the front-line management of MBC, prospective data support the simultaneous use of lapatinib with letrozole in HER2-positive disease. We await the results of the Phase III trial ane
