What Are Some Examples of Biomarker Driven Therapies?
Examples include:
HER2-Positive Breast Cancer: Trastuzumab (Herceptin) targets the HER2 protein, which promotes the growth of cancer cells in some breast cancers. EGFR Mutations in Lung Cancer: Drugs like erlotinib (Tarceva) target specific mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene. PD-L1 in Melanoma: Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) targets the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway, helping the immune system recognize and attack melanoma cells.
