HER-2 overexpression

Particular attention is given to HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugates, especially trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), which have emerged as an important recent therapeutic advance and have renewed interest in HER2 as an actionable target in selected patients with HER2-expressing cervical carcinoma. This review further highlights the need for biomarker-driven patient selection, standardized HER2 assessment, and rational integration of HER2-directed strategies into precision treatment for CC.

The frequency of H. pylori infection and HER2 over-expression occurred more frequently in MSI positive GCs. In particular, HER2 overexpression was more evident in MSI-EGC. MSI-EGC is a group of diseases with unique molecular biological characteristics and may show rapid tumor growth potential, so special treatment measures may be needed.

Importantly, hsa-miR-27b-5p upregulation independently predicted worse overall survival, whereas hsa-miR-128-3p upregulation independently predicted improved survival outcomes. These findings identify distinct microRNA signatures associated with HER2 pathway alterations and prognosis in gastric cancer, highlighting their potential as biomarkers and contributors to HER2-driven tumor biology.

This review focuses on immune checkpoint-based immunotherapy in TNBC, providing an overview from mechanistic insights to clinical applications and emerging therapeutic strategies. In addition to ICIs, we discuss alternative approaches, such as bispecific antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy, tumor vaccines, and oncolytic viruses (OVs), highlighting their current research progress and clinical applications in TNBC treatment.

Approximately 10-20% of gastric cancers overexpress HER2, conferring aggressive tumor characteristics and poor survival, yet resistance to trastuzumab-based targeted therapy and limited intratumoral antibody penetration continue to restrict clinical outcomes...Tumor analysis confirmed increased apoptosis and reduced proliferation in vivo. These findings demonstrate that p51-engineered exosomes provide an efficient, selective, and safe platform for HER2-targeted delivery of 17-DMAG, offering a promising precision medicine strategy for HER2-positive gastric cancer.

These findings highlight the evolving nature of HER2 testing in EC and demonstrate the significant impact of scoring methodology on HER2 interpretation. Our results support the development of EC-specific HER2 testing guidelines and a dual-reporting approach incorporating both ISGyP and gastric scoring criteria, with selective confirmatory FISH testing, to optimize patient selection for HER2-targeted therapies.

First-line disitamab vedotin with tislelizumab and S-1 demonstrated remarkable antitumor activity and a manageable safety profile in HER2-overexpressing advanced G/GEJ adenocarcinoma, warranting validation in randomized controlled trials.

Recent advances in molecular profiling and the development of HER2-directed ADCs have fundamentally reshaped the therapeutic relevance of HER2 in UC, enabling activity even in tumors with heterogeneous or low expression of HER2. This comprehensive narrative review synthesizes current knowledge on HER2 biology in UC, addresses challenges in biomarker assessment, critically appraises the evolving clinical trial landscape of HER2-directed ADCs, explores the interaction between HER2 and other oncogenic alterations and discusses mechanisms of resistance with future directions for HER2-targeted strategies in UC.

Combined with trastuzumab's targeting, this leads to marked suppression of HER2-positive BT474 xenograft tumors in mice. Our design may offer a powerful and universal modality for precise diagnosis and treatment of HER2-positive malignant tumors.

She completed adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and HER2-targeted therapy, with no recurrence at 2-y follow-up. This case emphasizes deliberate review of the complete hybrid SPECT/CT field of view during parathyroid imaging.

HER2 overexpression appears to be associated with poorer outcomes in advanced and resectable gastric cancer. Standardizing diagnostic criteria and integrating HER2 assessment into multimarker panels could enhance prognostic accuracy and guide personalized therapeutic decisions.
