Radiation Recall Reaction Induced by Adjuvant Trastuzumab (Herceptin)
Although concerns of radiation sensitization have been raised with concurrent trastuzumab (Herceptin) administration, there has been no published case of radiation recall reaction associated with trastuzumab. This case describes a clinical presentation consistent with a radiation recall reaction following administration of adjuvant trastuzumab after neoadjuvant FEC-D chemotherapy and locoregion...
متن کاملHER4 expression status correlates with improved outcome in both neoadjuvant and adjuvant Trastuzumab treated invasive breast carcinoma
Prognostic and predictive markers utilized in invasive breast carcinoma are limited and include ER, PR, Ki67, and ERBB2 (HER2). In the case of HER2, over-expression or amplification serves as eligibility for anti-HER2 based therapy, including trastuzumab (Herceptin®, Genentech). While clinical trials have shown trastuzumab improves overall survival and time to progression, an individual's respo...
متن کاملTargeting alternative pathways in HER2-positive breast cancer.
Trastuzumab (Herceptin) has dramatically changed the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. A phase III trial of firstline trastuzumab with various chemotherapy regimens compared with chemotherapy alone demonstrated a significant improvement in survival (25.1 vs 20.3 months) and overall response (50% vs 32%).1 This study resulted in the approval of ...
متن کاملEscalating and de-escalating treatment in HER2-positive early breast cancer.
The current standard adjuvant systemic treatment of early HER2-positive breast cancer consists of chemotherapy plus 12months of trastuzumab, with or without endocrine therapy. Several trials have investigated modifications of the standard treatment that are shorter and less resource-demanding (de-escalation) or regimens that aim at dual HER2 inhibition or include longer than 12months of HER2-ta...
متن کاملPertuzumab in human epidermal growth-factor receptor 2-positive breast cancer: clinical and economic considerations
In the absence of specific therapy, the 15%-20% of breast cancers demonstrating human epidermal growth-factor receptor 2 (HER2) protein overexpression and/or gene amplification are characterized by a more aggressive phenotype and poorer prognosis compared to their HER2-negative counterparts. Trastuzumab (Herceptin), the first anti-HER2-targeted therapy, has been associated with improved surviva...
