How exactly does Herceptin work?

healthtap.com — “Herceptin is a "monoclonal antibody". It is a protein that binds to receptors on breast cancer cells called HER-2. HER-2 causes breast cancer cells to grow uncontrollably. When Herceptin binds to these cells, it slows their growth. However, not all breast cancer cells contain the HER-2 receptors. Patients must be tested for the presence of HER-2 receptors before they are started on Herceptin.View full resource at healthtap.com
