Abstract: The emergence of trastuzumab has greatly improved the prognosis of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer,but some patients still develop primary or secondary trastuzumab resistance during treatment.In recent years,the drug resistance mechanism of trastuzumab has attracted more and more attention,but the drug resistance phenomenon has not been fully elucidated.Lipid metabolism,as a basic physiological activity to maintain cell survival,is closely related to the resistance of HER2-positive breast cancer cells to targeted therapy,and is expected to become a new target for the treatment of trastuzumab resistance.This article reviews the relationship between lipid metabolism and the mechanism of trastuzumab resistance.

Key words: Lipid metabolism, HER2 positive breast cancer, Drug resistance
