Therapeutic Application of Drug-Conjugated HER2 Oligobody (HER2-DOligobody) [PDF]
Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), consisting of a cancer-specific antibody and cytotoxic payload, are shown to be a potent class of anticancer therapeutics, with enhanced therapeutic efficacy and reduced “off-target” side effects. However, the therapeutic window of ADCs is narrowed by problems such as difficulty in site-specific conjugation of payload ...

Loss of Nuclear ARID-1A Expressions Is Associated with Hormone Receptor Status in Breast Cancers
Objective:Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. Adenine thymine-rich interactive domain 1A (ARIDIA) is a tumor suppressor gene involved in chromatin remodeling and it encodes the ARIDIA protein. Recent studies have shown the loss

First-line therapy in HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer. Is the mosaic fully completed or are we missing additional pieces? [PDF]
The discovery of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and its role in the biology of breast cancer and the subsequent development of HER2-targeted therapies, have dramatically improved clinical outcomes for women with early-stage and advanced ...

HER2 testing in breast cancer: Opportunities and challenges [PDF]
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is overexpressed in 15-25% of breast cancers, usually as a result of HER2 gene amplification. Positive HER2 status is considered to be an adverse prognostic factor. Recognition of the role of HER2 in breast

HER2 Gene Protein Assay Is Useful to Determine HER2 Status and Evaluate HER2 Heterogeneity in HER2 Equivocal Breast Cancer [PDF]
Approximately 15% of breast cancers show equivocal human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) results on HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) and are reflexed for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). However, some cases remain equivocal. In this study, we evaluated these double-equivocal cases by using a novel gene protein assay (GPA), which can ...

Improving HER2 testing reproducibility in HER2-low breast cancer
HER2 is a pillar biomarker in breast cancer, and it is assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using a three-tier scoring system and reflex in situ hybridization (ISH) for IHC score 2+. Novel HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugates have demonstrated significant antitumor activity in breast cancers with low levels of HER2 expression, i.e.

[18F]FDG PET/CT volumetric biomarkers for non-invasive prediction of HER2 expression in breast cancer patients [PDF]
Objective(s): to investigate the capability of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ([18F]-FDG PET/CT) derived volumetric parameters to predict human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status in breast cancer ...

DNA repair deficiency biomarkers and the 70-gene ultra-high risk signature as predictors of veliparib/carboplatin response in the I-SPY 2 breast cancer trial. [PDF]
Veliparib combined with carboplatin (VC) was an experimental regimen evaluated in the biomarker-rich neoadjuvant I-SPY 2 trial for breast cancer. VC showed improved efficacy in the triple negative signature.
