* Importance: It is a very effective treatment against HER2-positive metastatic breast [[cancer]] compared to other cancer therapies. Controversial due to its cost of nearly $100,000 per year. Is often pointed to as an example of the benefits of personalized medicine in which a patent's genetic profile is used to optimize their medication regimen.
