Pertuzumab plus trastuzumab and chemotherapy for Japanese patients with HER2-positive metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer: a subgroup analysis of the JACOB trial.
MCM2-LI was not shown to be predictive of disease recurrence during the median follow-up of 5.3 years but was shown to be useful to distinguish aggressive-type HER2-amplified breast carcinomas with high malignancy grade and hormone receptor negativity.
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is an attractive target for cancer therapy, although a large fraction of tumors that express HER2 may still resist first-line therapies.
The phase II/III GATSBY study (NCT01641939) showed that trastuzumab emtansine did not have an efficacy benefit over taxane in patients with previously treated, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer.
Data on immune checkpoint inhibitor efficacy in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2+) advanced gastric/gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) cancer are lacking.
Abnormalities in the expression levels of EGFR/HER2 are found in many different types of human cancer; therefore, the design of dual inhibitors of EGFR/HER2 is a recognized anti-cancer strategy.
Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of amplified imaging of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) dimerization on cancer cell surfaces by using a co-localization triggered DNA nanoassembly (CtDNA).
In summary, our group A cases account for 1.5% of breast cancers, and 10.7% of all HER2/neu-amplified cancers classified as such based on 2013 ASCO/CAP criteria.
In summary, these findings demonstrated that circ-ERBB2 functions as an oncogene in GC and might be useful in developing promising therapies for this fatal malignancy.
The American Joint Committee on Cancer eighth edition manual (AJCC8) departed from traditional anatomic staging by incorporating biological factors such as grade, hormone and HER2 receptor status into a novel prognostic staging model.
We report screening data from the iMYC trial, an ongoing phase II study assessing ibrutinib monotherapy in advanced pretreated MYC- and/or HER2-amplified oesophagogastric cancer, representing the first attempt to prospectively identify MYC amplifications in this tumour type for the purposes of therapeutic targeting.
To account for cancer cell heterogeneity, a first, dynamic model was expanded to a second model including two distinct cell phenotypes, with implications for different conformational states of HER2, i.e. monomeric or homodimeric.
After adjustment for the effect of dose group, patients with Her 2 negative cancer can expect shorter LPFS than those with Her 2 positive cancer (HR = 2.6, 95% CI = 1.5-4.4, <i>p</i> < 0.0005).
In conclusion, our data indicate that SLFN and MTFN can reduce cancer cell viability via both collaborative and differential effects and suggest that MTFN increases SLFN effectiveness by targeting common molecules/pathways downstream of HER2 and key for CSC signaling.
Here we used the DEPArray system to identify and isolate CTCs from metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients and performed single-cell NanoString analysis to quantify cancer pathway gene expression in HER2-positive and HER2-negative CTC populations.
No study has investigated the biological function of BCLIN25, serving as a novel HER2 subtype-specific lincRNA, in human disease, especially in malignancy.
The patients in the SNB group had a higher rate of estrogen receptor-positive and triple-negative breast cancers, but a lower rate of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive cancer (p < 0.001).
Invasive lobular, low-grade, or HER-2-negative cancer is more detectable with DBT than with conventional FFDM in patients with dense breasts, but cancers surrounded by mostly glandular tissue might be missed with both techniques.
