Increased expression of the HER protein family, especially HER2 and HER3, are biomarkers in breast cancer that have become significant targets for molecular imaging and therapy. Imaging modalities that target HER2 and HER3 have the ability to diagnose breast cancer with a specific, biologically relevant target in a non-invasive manner. Repeat tumor biopsies do not address the issue of heterogeneity intratumorally or between primary disease and metastasis. HER2- and HER3- targeted PET is an important tool to diagnose disease state in breast cancer and evaluate response to therapies that target these receptors. PET is a highly sensitive and quantitative imaging technique with subnanomolar detection. PET and SPECT with radiolabeled biomolecules can be used for noninvasive detection and quantification of specific targets, allowing physicians and scientists alike to better understand the behavior and effectiveness of treatment across patient cohorts.
