The amplification of the cERBB2 gene in breast cancer cells is associated with a more aggressive cancer phenotype. This gene is amplified in about 20 - 30% of cases. At the present though, two drugs already target the overexpressed protein. These drugs are Herceptin and Lapatinib and has been shown to improve outcomes in breast cancer patients.

Thanks for your quick response.
