This book reports results from experimental models of HER2 oncogene overexpression and treatments which have been used in an effort to understand the relationship between HER2 and response to therapeutics.

In this book the HER2 oncogene has been extensively discussed as a prognostic factor and as a predictor of response to chemotherapy and endocrine therapy.

The book includes data regarding the expression of HER2 oncogene in lung cancer and response to trastuzumab alone or in combination with chemotherapeutic agents.

The interaction of HER2 with others drugs such as alkylating agents, platinum analogs and topoisomerase inhibitors, as well as additive interactions with taxanes, anthracyclines and some metabolites and antimetabolites are presented.
