Expression of some of the identified genes correlated with favorable outcome and response to checkpoint inhibitors: MSR1, CD80, OLR1, ABCA1, TMEM245, and ATP13A3 predicted outcome to anti PD(L)1 therapies, and MSR1, CD80, OLR1, ANO6, ABCA1, TMEM245, and ATP13A3 to anti CTLA4 therapies, including a subgroup of melanoma treated patients. In this article we provide evidence of genes strongly associated with the presence of Tregs that modulates the response to check point inhibitors.

Overexpression of truncated MUC1 lacking the intracellular domain as a model of increased glycocalyx-induced resistance to neratinib both in cell culture and in experimental brain metastases in immunodeficient mice. Our results highlight the importance of glycoproteins as a resistance mechanism to HER2-targeting therapies in breast cancer brain metastases.

This study gives updated insights on pCR, OS, and MFS in women with HER2-low BC exposed to NAC.

The prognoses of patients with HER2-positive stage cT1/2N0M0 BC were highly favorable. The indications for NAC in small, localized, and node-negative HER2-positive BC should be carefully assessed based on the presence of a larger tumor size, postoperative pathological evaluation of tumor size, and lymph vessel invasion.

Gastric cancer patients with low and high expressions of CLDN 18.2 had postoperative median DFS of 38.5 months (95% confidence interval (CI) 28.8-48.2 months) and 12.1 months (95% CI, 11.7-41.0 months), respectively. High expression of CLDN 18.2 in HER-2 positive gastric cancer is associated with poor prognosis, and the optimal treatment mode for this population is worth exploring after the approval of anti-CLDN 18.2 drugs.

After progression on treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors for HR-positive/HER2-low expression metastatic breast cancer, both chemotherapy and endocrine therpy combined with targeted drugs are viable treatment options. However, for patients with PR negative or ≥2 lines of endocrine therapy previously, priority should be accorded to chemotherapy.

In this study, we designed a liposomal delivery system, which utilizes the intrinsic characteristics of HER2-positive tumors to ensure efficient delivery of oxaliplatin to the cancer cells. On the liposome surface, trastuzumab, an antibody specific to the HER2 receptor, was shown to facilitate internalization by the cancer cells...The proposed beneficial effect of combining antibody-mediated internalization with MMP sensitivity was confirmed in a series of in vivo studies using ovarian cancer xenograft models. The results demonstrated that HER2-targeted MMP-sensitive liposomes have superior anticancer activity compared to non-targeted and non-cleavable liposomes.

Radiation nanomedicines have shown great promise for treating cancer in preclinical studies. Local intratumoural administration avoids sequestration by the liver and spleen and is most effective for treating tumours, while minimizing normal tissue toxicity.

US features (shape, orientation, and posterior echo) and ADC value may be a valuable tool for estimating CD8+-TIL levels in HER2-positive BC. The nomogram may help clinicians in making decisions.

Overall, GHS and quality of life were maintained for both treatment groups, with prespecified PRO variables favouring trastuzumab deruxtecan over treatment of physician's choice, suggesting that despite a longer treatment duration, there was no detrimental impact on patient health-related quality of life with trastuzumab deruxtecan. When considered with efficacy and safety data from DESTINY-Breast02, these results support the overall benefit of trastuzumab deruxtecan for patients with HER2-positive unresectable or metastatic breast cancer previously treated with trastuzumab emtansine.

Moreover, early changes in PALS and PACS resulted good predictors of CTRCD development (AUC 0.85; p = 0.008, p < 0.001 and 0.77; p = 0.008, respectively). This prospective study emphasizes that the decline in PALS and PACS among trastuzumab-treated patients could possibly increase the accuracy in identifying future CTRCD in non-metastatic HER2 breast cancer cases, adding predictive value to conventional echocardiographic assessment.

Overall, the PFS (Random model) HR &lsqb;0.80] and 95% confidence intervals (CI) &lsqb;0.68-0.95] were significantly higher for regimens containing trastuzumab, fluoropyrimidine, and platinum compared to regimens containing fluoropyrimidine and platinum. The results of this meta-analysis provide additional support for trastuzumab's use in treating HER2-positive GEA, particularly in cases where the disease lacks a HER2+ receptor.

Comprehensive assessment of both ORR and safety indicated that CT(A) represents an optimal neoadjuvant therapy for HR+/HER2- breast cancer, whereas AI + CDK4/6 inhibitors rank solely behind chemotherapy. International Platform of Registered Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (INPLASY) registration number INPLASY202440092.

Upon coupling with trastuzumab as a BFC ligand, it becomes an excellent imaging probe for HER2-positive tumors. &lsqb;52Mn]Mn-BPPA-trastuzumab enables an extended imaging time window and earlier detection of HER2-positive tumors with superior tumor-to-background contrast.

These involve lower ODX testing costs, health insurance coverage expansion, re-classification and validation of ODX recurrence scores in patients of minority ancestry, and the development of a faster, more accurate, and affordable test. See related article by Van Alsten et al., p. 654.

This study provides proof of concept that circulating microRNAs tested soon after treatment start could serve as biomarkers of cardiotoxicity in a very early stage in breast cancer patients receiving anti-HER2 therapy.

Among trastuzumab-naïve patients, 34/106 (32.1%) with EBC achieved pathological complete response; 30/74 (40.5%) MBC and 24/49 (49.0%) MGC patients achieved complete or partial response. In a real-world setting, CT-P6 demonstrated safety and efficacy findings consistent with previous CT-P6 studies.

The findings suggest the combination of PD-1-inhibitor and mFOLFOX6 showed efficacy and acceptable toxicity for locally advanced GC. Extended follow-up is required to determine the duration of the response. This study lays essential groundwork for developing precise neoadjuvant regimens.

TheSerenityBot was superior to Claude and GPT4 for recommendations on RT, OT and RS for postoperative breast cancer cases. Training LLMs on guidelines can enhance their effectiveness in MTBs.

The changes in blood metabolomes following doxorubicin treatment were dependent on HER2 status, and these changes might serve as severity and prognostic markers of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.

In this review, we provide an overview of the development and challenges of CAR-based immunotherapy in treating different subtypes of breast cancer and discuss the progress of CAR-expressing exosomes for breast cancer treatment. We elaborate on the development of CAR-T cells in TNBC therapy and the prospects of using CAR-macrophages, CAR-NK cells, and CAR-MSCs for treating breast cancer.

The small size (1.88 ± 0.48 nm) of carbon dots significantly improved their ability to penetrate biological barriers, while their low toxicity (no significant cell toxicity under 350 μg/mL) contributed to the formulation's outstanding biocompatibility. Overall, this carbon dot-enhanced drug delivery system offers immense potential for enhancing drug efficacy, minimizing side effects, and providing real-time treatment monitoring, thus proposing a innovate strategy for breast cancer therapy.

A considerable proportion of patients with TN and HER2-positive breast cancer do not receive NAC as first treatment. Of those, most were not assessed by both a surgeon and medical oncologist prior to initiating therapy. This points toward potential gaps in multidisciplinary assessment and disparities in receipt of guideline-concordant care.

Our findings indicate that men with breast cancer are diagnosed at an older age than women, and that men have a more advanced stage than women at the time of diagnosis. The histopathology and expression of biomarkers of breast cancer differ between men and women.

P1/2; The following biomarkers were associated with better outcomes for patients treated with T-DM1 + neratinib: (1) ctHER2-amp (C1D1) or in TP1; (2) Molecular Response scores; (3) loss of detectable ctDNA; (4) RNA levels of HER2; and (5) on-treatment loss of detectable ctHER2-amp. HER2 transcriptional and IHC/FISH status identify HER2-low cases (IHC 1+ or IHC 2+ and FISH negative) in these heavily anti-HER2 treated patients. Due to the small number of patients and samples in this study, the associations we have shown are for hypothesis generation only and remain to be validated in future studies. Clinical Trials registration NCT02236000.

Although patients with SPBC have worse prognostic tumor characteristics, OS and CSS rates are better than patients with MPC.

These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the underlying causes of breast cancer with respect to menopausal status. This study is the first from Turkey that reflects the molecular subtyping and somatic mutation profiles of breast cancer patients according to menopausal status.

The study identifies significant age, residency, and tumor molecular subtype correlations with diagnostic and treatment delays in Ningxia's patients with BC, predominantly affecting women aged 41 to 60, especially urban dwellers. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to reduce delays and improve BC care in this region.

A synergistic effect was observed when combining HVH-2930 and paclitaxel in JIMT-1 xenografts. Our findings highlight the potent efficacy of HVH-2930 in overcoming trastuzumab resistance in HER2-positive breast cancer. Further investigation is warranted to fully establish its therapeutic potential.

Moreover, HMAP7 demonstrated remarkable selectivity for HER2, rendering it suitable for use in complex biological systems. Our findings suggest that the novel DNA aptamer HMAP7 holds promise for both therapeutic and diagnostic applications, enabling selective delivery of therapeutic agents or imaging of HER2-positive breast tumors.

Six courses of capecitabine plus cisplatin plus trastuzumab(XP plus Tmab)therapy and 17 courses of capecitabine plus trastuzumab(X plus Tmab)therapy were performed. Six courses of X plus Tmab were administered as postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, but were discontinued at the patient's request. Currently, 5 years have passed since the first chemotherapy and 3.5 years have passed since the surgery, and the patient is alive without recurrence, suggesting that the conversion surgery may have contributed to the prolonged survival.

Of them, 85 received pembrolizumab, 10 received sintilimab, 8 received tislelizumab, 4 received camrelizumab, 2 received toripalimab, and 1 received pabocizumab. The adjuvant chemotherapy regimens used among the chemotherapy alone group includes SOX regimen (132 cases), XELOX (102 cases), S-1 monotherapy (44 cases), and other regimens (15 cases)...Subgroup analysis showed that stage IIIC (HR=0.416, 95%CI: 0.184~0.940), aged ≥60 years (HR=0.336, 95%CI: 0.121~0.934) and extranodal invasion (HR=0.378, 95%CI: 0.170~0.839) were associated with benefit from the combined immune adjuvant chemotherapy, while no association was observed for MMR, HER-2 or EBER status. Stage III gastric/esophagogastric junction cancer patients may benefite from postoperative immune checkpoint inhibitor combined with adjuvant chemotherapy in real-world settings.
