Abstract

Lapatinib is an intracellular tyrosine kinase inhibitor of EGFR (ErbB1) and HER2 (ErbB2) receptors, approved for the treatment of metastatic breast carcinoma pre-treated with anti-HER2 antibodies. We report the case of a 60-year-old woman diagnosed with metastatic breast neoplasm, HER2-positive, progressing after treatment with trastuzumab, pertuzumab and T-DM1, who obtained a regression of hepatic metastases after treatment with lapatinib-capecitabine (Oncology).
