Monoclonal antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates as emerging therapeutics for breast cancer treatment. (PubMed, Curr Drug Deliv)
There has been significant worldwide progress in the development of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) since 1986, when the first therapeutic mAb, Orthoclone OKT3, became commercially available...This review focuses on the therapeutic applications, mechanistic insights, characteristics, safety aspects, and adverse events of mAbs like trastuzumab, bevacizumab, pertuzumab, ertumaxomab, and atezolizumab in breast cancer treatment. The creation of novel technologies utilizing modified antibodies, such as fragments, conjugates, and multispecific antibodies, must be a central focus of future studies. This review will help scientists working on developing mAbs to treat cancers more effectively.
