1. A method of treating a HER2-expressing cancer in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising:
administering to the subject a therapeutic dose of an Iodine-131 radiolabeled VHH, or functional fragment thereof, which specifically binds to HER2 present on a cancer cell, wherein the Iodine-131 radiolabeled VHH, or functional fragment thereof, comprises a CDR1 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, a CDR2 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, and a CDR3 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3,
and wherein the subject was identified for treatment on the basis of detection in the subject of HER2 expression on a cancer cell of the subject using a screening dose of the same Iodine-131 radiolabeled VHH, or functional fragment thereof.
