Targeting HER2 in urothelial carcinoma: from pathway inhibition to antibody-drug conjugates. (PubMed, Cancer Treat Rev)
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.

Multi-payload antibody-drug conjugates for photothermal dynamic and chemotherapy of HER2-positive breast cancer. (PubMed, Mater Today Bio)
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.

The Utility of HER2 Overexpression in Prognosis of Gastric Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Study. (PubMed, Cancer Rep (Hoboken))
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.

Treatment of HER2-Positive Brain Metastasis from Cervical Cancer Using Multimodal Therapy Including Pyrotinib: A Case Report. (PubMed, Int J Womens Health)
This case illustrates successful management of HER2-positive brain metastases from cervical cancer using a multimodal approach combining surgery, radiotherapy, and systemic therapy with pyrotinib and capecitabine. The durable complete response with manageable toxicity underscores the therapeutic potential of HER2-targeted therapy as part of a multimodal regimen; however, further studies are required to validate these findings and optimize personalized treatment strategies.

HER2-low status in breast cancer: clinicopathological factors and prognostic value. (PubMed, Arch Med Sci)
HER2-low status was associated with worse OS in breast cancer patients with certain negative prognostic factors compared with HER2-zero status. Additionally, HER2-low1+ and HER2-low2+/ISH(-) subgroups predominantly exhibited HR+ status.
