Abstract
Human carcinomas express high levels of receptors in the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor family, it includes two important EGF receptors; they are EGF receptor (EGFR) and ErbB2. Function of these receptors is more useful for anticancer treatments. The monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) block the activation of EGFR and ErbB2. A humanized anti-ErbB2 is active and recently approved in combination with paclitaxel for the therapy of patients with metastatic ErbB2 over aggressive breast cancer, a chimeric anti-EGFR MAb is active in combination with radiation therapy and reverses resistance to chemotherapy.
