Targeted therapies in breast cancer.
Targeted therapies have improved cure rates and prolonged survival in metastasised breast cancer. The most important new molecular targets in breast cancer therapy are epidermal growth factor receptor (ErbB) family signalling, DNA repair pathways and angiogenesis. Blocking ErbB2 signalling with anti-ErbB2 antibodies or ErbB2 kinase inhibitors is effective in both the adjuvant and the palliative...

proaches interacting with growth factor signaling pathways that lead to estrogen receptor activation. Currently, we are experiencing relevant progress in endocrine therapy through approaches interacting with these signaling pathways, and several compounds will become available for clinical use within the next years. However, despite the fact that several compounds which target mTOR, PI3K, or CD...
متن کاملTriple-negative breast cancer: new perspectives for targeted therapies
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease, encompassing a large number of entities showing different morphological features and having clinical behaviors. It has became apparent that this diversity may be justified by distinct patterns of genetic, epigenetic, and transcriptomic aberrations. The identification of gene-expression microarray-based characteristics has led to the identification of at...
متن کاملThe new generation of targeted therapies for breast cancer.
Traditional therapies for breast cancer have generally relied upon the targeting of rapidly proliferating cells by inhibiting DNA replication or cell division. Although this strategy has been effective, its innate lack of selectivity for tumor cells has resulted in diminishing returns, approaching the limits of acceptable toxicity. A growing understanding of the molecular events that mediate tu...
متن کاملTargeted therapies in breast cancer: New challenges to fight against resistance
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer found in women and today represents a significant challenge to public health. With the latest breakthroughs in molecular biology and immunotherapy, very specific targeted therapies have been tailored to the specific pathophysiology of different types of breast cancers. These recent developments have contributed to a more efficient and specific tre...
