How Pertuzumab works?

Mechanism of Action

Pertuzumab binds to the HER2 receptor, a key driver of cell growth and differentiation in HER2-positive cancers. By inhibiting the dimerization of HER2 with other HER receptors, pertuzumab prevents the activation of downstream signaling pathways that promote tumor cell proliferation and survival. This mechanism helps to inhibit tumor growth and improve patient outcomes.
