C ERB B2

HER2 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2) is a protein involved in cell growth, often overexpressed in breast cancer. The CERB2 test detects this overexpression, crucial for identifying HER2-positive breast cancers. It helps guide targeted therapies like trastuzumab (Herceptin) for treatment.
