Trastuzumab in the management of gastroesophageal cancer: patient selection and perspectives
نویسندگان
چکیده
The addition of trastuzumab to the treatment of a subset of patients with advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancers showing HER2 positivity has been shown to confer clinical benefit; however, questions remain over the optimal methods for defining and selecting such patients. This review provides an overview of current standards for assessing HER2 positivity, the evolving treatment landscape for HER2-positive gastric and esophageal cancers and the challenges and potential future directions in optimal patient selection for HER2-targeted therapy.

Background: Trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy has long been established as a standard treatment for HER2-positive patients in early stage breast cancer (BC). The present study aimed at assessing the effectiveness of trastuzumab adjuvant therapy in early stage BC in overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was ...

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in the female population and is the leading cause of death. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and monoclonal antibody (trastuzumab) therapy are common and standard treatments for this cancer. However, there are significant limitations in the treatment of this disease by using regular methods. Given the role of transcription factors (T...

Trastuzumab is a specific monoclonal antibody used for therapeutic of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) -positive metastatic breast cancer. But, resistance to trastuzumab is a major obstacle in clinical efficiency. During the past years, several studies have been done to find the mechanisms contributing to trastuzumab resistance. Previous studies have highlighted that bone m...

Background and Aim: Resistance to trastuzumab has been a critical barrier to targeted therapy of HER 2-positive (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2) breast cancers. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are known as decisive core regulators of drug resistance that modulate the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer-related immune responses. The present study aimed at examining the expression ...
