Severe thrombocytopenia related to long-term trastuzumab exposure.

چکیده
Drug-induced immune thrombocytopenia may occur secondary to several chemotherapeutic agents or new targeted monoclonal antibodies, but thrombocytopenia induced by trastuzumab is a very rare occurrence. We report a case of severe thrombocytopenia related to the administration of trastuzumab six months after the first exposure.

Severe thrombocytopenia related to trastuzumab infusion
BACKGROUND Trastuzumab is a humanized, monoclonal antibody that interferes with the HER2/neu receptor and binds selectively to the HERB2 protein which causes uncontrolled proliferation of malignant breast cells. CASE REPORT We report a case of severe thrombocytopenia related to trastuzumab administration. Three days after the first dose of single-agent trastuzumab, the patient was admitted to...
متن کاملمطالعه ارتباط مقاومت به تراستوزوماب با بیان نسبی میکرو‌آر‌ان‌ای ۱۴۱ (miR-141 ) در سلول‌های انسانی سرطانی پستان BT-474
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 ...
متن کاملLong-term control of bone marrow carcinosis and severe thrombocytopenia with standard-dose chemotherapy in a breast cancer patient: a case report.
BACKGROUND Primary metastatic breast cancer with bone marrow involvement and pronounced thrombocytopenia is rare. The myelosuppressive effect of most cytotoxic drugs limits chemotherapy in patients with cytopenia due to marrow involvement. CASE REPORT A 62-year-old patient, who presented with locally and systemically advanced breast cancer, is reported. The initial work-up revealed bone marro...
متن کاملTwo Lung Cancer Development-Related Genes, Forkhead Box M1 (FOXM1) and Apolipoprotein E (APOE), are overexpressed in Bronchial of Patients after Long-Term Exposure to Sulfur Mustard
Sulfur mustard (SM) is a strong alkylating and mutagenic compound that targets humanairway system. We considered the expression of Forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) and apolipoproteinE (APOE) genes, which are responsible for cell proliferation, differentiation, tumorigenesis,and increased risk of lung cancer, in the lung bronchial tissue of patients exposed to SM.After performing pulmonary functional tes...
