Targeted therapy in HER2-positive breast cancer

Abstract: Abstract. Treatment options for breast cancer vary based on tumor surface markers and clinical factors, including cytotoxic chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, biological therapy or a combination thereof. An important molecular determinant of therapy is the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positivity of the tumor, which has been identified in 20-25% of breast cancers and is a prognostic marker of poor outcome. The advent of HER2-targeted therapies has significantly improved the survival of patients … Show more

“…Among all patients treated with sunitinib, the median PFS was 11.6 m (95% CI: [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Median PFS was 21 m (95% CI: 11-25) for macrocytic patients compared to 4 m (95% CI: 3-8) in normocytic patients (P = 0.0001) (Fig.…”

“…However, in terms of a therapeutic approach, the use of trastuzumab, a specific chemotherapeutic agent targeting HER2, dramatically improves disease-free survival and overall survival in HER2-positive patients with breast carcinoma (Li and Li 2013). Because there is no consensus with regard to the selection criteria for HER2-targeted therapy in eyelid SbGC, the ASCO/CAP guidelines for breast cancer may represent an alternate or a reference (Wolff et al 2013).…”

“…Although multiple approved strategies exist for disrupting HER2 signaling in HER2-positive (HER2 þ ) metastatic breast cancer (MBC; refs. 4,5), including mAbs such as trastuzumab (6) and pertuzumab (7), the antibody-drug conjugate ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1; ref. 8), and the small-molecule dual tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) lapatinib (9), several unmet needs exist in this patient population.…”
