Gene Signature–Guided Dasatinib Therapy in Metastatic Breast Cancer

Gene signature-guided dasatinib therapy in metastatic breast cancer.

PURPOSE Dasatinib has limited single-agent activity in unselected patients with metastatic breast cancer. Several gene signatures predictive of dasatinib response in vitro have been reported. The purpose of this three-arm, phase II study was to prospectively assess the utility of three previously published gene signatures to select patients with clinical benefit from dasatinib. EXPERIMENTAL D...

the study of aaag repeat polymorphism in promoter of errg gene and its association with the risk of breast cancer in isfahan region

چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...

Cancer Therapy: Clinical Phase II Study of Dasatinib in Patients with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

Purpose: Antiproliferative and antiosteoclastic activity from preclinical models show potential for dasatinib, an oral SRC and SRC family kinase inhibitor, as a targeted therapy for patients with prostate cancer. This phase II study investigated the activity of dasatinib in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Experimental Design: Chemotherapy-naive men with CRP...

HER2-directed therapy for metastatic breast cancer.

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression drives the biology of 20% of breast cancers, and predicts a poor prognosis for patients. HER2-targeted therapies significantly improve outcomes for HER2-positive patients with both early and metastatic breast cancer. Currently three HER2-targeted agents, trastuzumab (Herceptin), lapatinib (Tykerb), and pertuzumab (Perjeta), are avai...
