Indeed, the characterization of the receptor resulted in a number of significant advances. Structurally, unique features provided avenues for the development of numerous compounds with target-specificity; molecularly, biological constructs revealed a highly complex, internal signal transduction pathway with regulatory effects on tumor proliferation, survival, and perhaps, even resistance; and clinically, disease outcomes manifested its predictive and prognostic value. Yet despite the receptor’s utility, the beneficial effects are diminished by tumor recurrence after neo- or adjuvant therapy as well as losses resulting from the inability to cure patients with metastatic disease. What these observations suggest is that while tumor response may be partially linked to uncoupling cell surface message reception and nuclear gene expression, as well as recruitment of the innate immune system, disease progression and/or resistance may involve a reprogrammable signaling mainframe that elicits alternative growth and survival signals. This review attempts to meld current perceptions related to HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer with particular attention to current biological insights and therapeutic challenges.Keywords: ado-trastuzumab emtansine, ErbB, Fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan, HER2, lapatinib, margetuximab, neratinib, neu, pertuzumab, PHESGO, trastuzumab, tucatinibSalkeni MARizvi WHein KHiga GMDove Medical Pressarticleado-trastuzumab emtansineerbbfam-trastuzumab deruxtecanher2lapatinibmargetuximabneratinibneupertuzumabphesgotrastuzumabtucatinibNeoplasms.
