What Is the Role of Receptors in Cancer Pharmacodynamics?
Receptors play a significant role in the pharmacodynamics of anticancer drugs. Many cancer therapies target specific receptors on the surface of cancer cells. For instance, HER2 inhibitors like trastuzumab target the HER2 receptor, which is overexpressed in some breast cancers. By binding to these receptors, the drugs can inhibit cancer cell growth and survival.
