Lapatinib 250mg tablet is used in the treatment of Breast cancer. It belongs to a class of medications known as antineoplastics. This medicine works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells. It is important to take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. The recommended dose of Tykerb tablet is decided by a doctor according to your previous medical condition and response to the treatment.
Description
Lapatinib is a small molecule and a member of the 4-anilinoquinazoline class of kinase inhibitors. Tykerb 250mg Tablet retained significant activity against breast cancer cell lines selected for long-term growth in the trastuzumab-containing medium in vitro.
These in vitro findings suggest non–cross-resistance between these two agents. Hormone receptor-positive breast cancer cells (with ER [Estrogen Receptor] and PgR [Progesterone Receptor]) that coexpress the HER2 tend to be resistant to established endocrine therapies.
Similarly, hormone receptor-positive breast cancer cells that initially lack EGFR or HER2 upregulate these receptor proteins as the tumor becomes resistant to endocrine therapy.
