HER2-Targeted Antibody-Drug Conjugates in Advanced HER2-Low Breast Cancer: Mechanisms, Clinical Efficacy, and Resistance Strategies

Abstract Globally, breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy in women, with the HER2-low subtype (IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH−) accounting for approximately 45%–55% of all invasive breast cancer cases. Conventional HER2-targeted therapies are ineffective for this subtype, and treatment has long relied on endoc...

HER2 amplification as a resistance mechanism to osimertinib and its successful treatment with trastuzumab deruxtecan: a case report

Acquired resistance to osimertinib in EGFR-mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer is inevitable, and management following progression remains an evolving clinical challenge. HER2 amplification is a recognised but underreported off-target resistance mechanism, and its optimal management is not yet established. Tra...

Efficacy and safety of HER2 directed therapies for advanced HER2-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer - a systematic review and meta-analysis.

INTRODUCTION Recently, both HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting HER2 have demonstrated clinically meaningful activity and received regulatory approval for advanced HER2-mutant NSCLC, although evidence is primarily derived from single-arm trials with modest sample sizes a...

Biomarker-Guided Treatment Selection in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: A Critical Review of Established and Emerging Therapies.

This structured narrative review separately examines mismatch repair-deficient/microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H) and microsatellite-stable/mismatch repair-proficient (MSS/pMMR) disease and distinguish established treatments from investigational strategies and identify the remaining evidence gaps.
