Clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of HER2 mutation and HER2 fusion in 22 patients with advanced breast cancer. (PubMed, Thorac Cancer)
Our data demonstrated the clinical benefit of anti-HER2 treatment in Chinese breast cancer patients harboring HER2 mutation and/or HER2 fusion. The value of immunotherapy and treatment selection among individual HER2 variants needs further study.

Pulmonary invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma. (PubMed, Histopathology)
Accordingly, these unique features require different therapeutic approaches when compared to nonmucinous adenocarcinomas in general. In this article, we review recent updates on the histopathological, clinical, and molecular features of IMAs, and also highlight some unresolved issues for future studies.

Clinical Implication of HER2 Aberration in Patients With Metastatic Cancer Using Next-Generation Sequencing: A Pan-Tumor Analysis. (PubMed, JCO Precis Oncol)
In conclusion, we showed that when patients with metastatic cancer receive NGS test, approximately 8.9% have HER2 aberrations in their tumor specimen. Most patients have HER2 amplification, and a small percentage of patients have HER2 fusion. A great majority of patients with HER2 amplification and/or HER2 fusion had HER2 (+) tumor by IHC.

Characterization of ERBB2 variation and their association with immune response in solid tumours (ESMO 2023)
Conclusions Our study identified ERBB2 variation patterns among a cohort of Chinese solid tumor patients and demonstrated that ERBB2 abnormality high expression is associated with an activated immune system and a stronger inflammatory response. Our findings offer insights into the potential benefits of using immune checkpoint inhibitors for this type of patient.

ERBB family fusions are recurrent and actionable oncogenic targets across cancer types. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
We also establish that adapter-tethered and kinase-tethered fusions are oncogenic and can be inhibited with EGFR or HER2 inhibitors. We further propose a nomenclature system to categorize these fusions into several functional classes.

Molecular and clinicopathological characteristics of ERBB2 gene fusions in 32,131 Chinese patients with solid tumors. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
ERBB2 fusion may interfere the effect of anti-HER2-targeted antibody drugs and influence the prognosis of patients with ERBB2 amplification. Prospective clinical trials are warranted to confirm the results in the future.

Tissue and Liquid Biopsy–Based Comprehensive Genomic Profiling Reveal Mechanisms of Therapy Resistance and Rare Targetable Alterations in Breast Cancer (MBCC 2022)
"Conclusions Liquid biopsy profiling provides evidence for therapeutic and selection-driven evolution, with a high frequency of shared driver alterations and a diverse set of in-pathway subclonal acquired alterations. Potentially actionable baseline and acquired alterations identified in liquid biopsies may provide insights into additional treatment options, potentially through combinatorial strategies."

Clinical and genomic characterization of ERBB2-altered gallbladder cancer. (ASCO 2022)
ERBB2 amplification and mutation are the most frequent potentially targetable alterations in GBC (14%). ERBB2-driven GBC has higher concurrent alterations of TP53, while KRAS alterations appear to be less frequent. While no particular clinical feature was associated with this subgroup, overall survival was longer.

HER2 alterations and prognostic implications in all subtypes of breast cancer. (ASCO 2022)
ERBB2mts& fusions were observed in all breast cancer subtypes - more commonly in HER2+, metastatic, & lobular histology tumors - & did not influence prognosis. These alterations may reflect response to treatment pressures in HER2+ disease to reactivate HER2-mediated growth pathways following anti-HER2 therapy & may represent a targetable upregulated oncogenic pathway in HER2- disease. Ongoing identification of ERBB2 alterations may augment treatment options for breast cancer pts & clinical outcomes from this approach are under investigation.

ERBB gene fusions are detectable at low frequency in various tumor types and may represent a unique genomic subset of cancer . Identification of novel ERBB gene fusions warrants further investigation to determine the potential pathogenicity and actionability of these fusions.

[VIRTUAL] EGFR, ERBB2 and ERBB4 fusions are recurrent alterations in multiple cancer types (WSMRF 2021)
Frequency of EGFR, ERBB2 and ERBB4 fusions Conclusions EGFR, HER2 and HER4 fusions are individually rare events but collectively represent up to 1% of all cancers, a significant number of patients with potentially actionable genomic alterations. These data highlight the importance of assaying for these mutations during clinical sequencing and suggest that further investigation into HER fusion biology and potential treatment options would be impactful.

[VIRTUAL] Genomic landscape and clinicopathological characteristics of lung cancer in young Chinese patients. (ASCO 2020)
The data suggest that the prevalence of different genetic alterations is both age and sex related. The high level of ALK/ROS1/RET fusions and less CNV in young LC could potentially lead to more effective treatment and better prognosis. We also noted that genomic alterations in young LC were not significantly different across sexes, but the disparity by sex was enormously enlarged in old LC, which might be correlated to their life-long exposures, such as smoking, life styles and sex-affected factors.
