Her 2 is an acronym for human epidermal growth factor receptor. This protein may be present on the surface of about 1 out of 5 breast cancer cells as a result of a unique gene mutation. When present, we call this her2-positive breast ca & indicates that it may be more aggressive and less responsive to hormone therapy. However there are special chemotherapy agents that may be more effective & used.
