TYKERB (lapatinib) is an oral small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved in 2007 for HER2-positive breast cancer, targeting both EGFR and HER2 pathways. It is administered as a tablet and is indicated for advanced or metastatic breast cancer, often in combination with other therapies. The drug works by inhibiting intracellular signaling that drives cancer cell growth in HER2-overexpressing tumors.
