Definition for trastuzumab
Trastuzumab (more commonly known under the trade name Herceptin ) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that acts on the HER2/neu (erbB2) receptor . Trastuzumab's principal use is as an anti- cancer therapy in breast cancer in patients whose tumors over-express (that is, "produce more than the usual amount of") this receptor.

Trastuzumab (more commonly known under the trade name Herceptin ) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that acts on the HER2/neu (erbB2) receptor . Trastuzumab's principal use is as an anti- cancer therapy in breast cancer in patients whose tumors over-express (that is, "produce more than the usual amount of") this receptor. It has been also tried with success in women with uterine papillary serous carcinomas that overexpress HER2/neu. [ 1 ] Trastuzumab is administered either once a week or once every three weeks intravenously for 30 to 90 minutes. [ citation needed ]
