Case report: Long-term clinical benefit of pyrotinib therapy following trastuzumab resistance in HER2-amplification recurrent mucinous ovarian carcinoma

Abstract: Advanced or recurrent mucinous carcinoma of the ovary minimally responds to current cytotoxic treatments and has a poor prognosis. Despite multimodal treatment with chemotherapy and surgery, most patients ultimately progress and require palliative systemic therapy. Anti-HER2 therapy has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer. However, the role of anti-HER2 therapy in ovarian cancer remains largely unknown. Here, we report the case of a young woman with FI… Show more

“…Adequate diagnosis of breast cancer metastases and HER2 status is necessary for determining the appropriate treatment strategy. Anti-HER2 therapy has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer [42]. HER2 overexpression has also been associated with ovary, endometrium, fallopian tube, gastric and prostate cancers [43][44][45].…”
