ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of oral pyrotinib in treatment of patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer in the real world, and to explore its influencing factors.Methods:The clinical data of 148 patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer treated with oral pyrrolitinib in Shanxi Cancer Hospital from September 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The efficacy was evaluated according to the efficacy evaluation criteria for solid tumors, version 1.1, and the adverse effects were graded according to the National Cancer Institute common terminology criteria of adverse effects, version 4.0. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw progression-free survival (PFS) curves, the patients were stratified by different clinical characteristics, and log-rank test was used for univariate analysis of PFS; the multivariate analysis of PFS was performed using Cox proportional hazards model.Results:The objective response rate (ORR) of 148 patients was 71.6% (106/148), and the disease control rate (DCR) was 89.2% (132/148). The overall median PFS time was 11.0 months (95% CI 10.1-11.9 months), and the median PFS of 19 patients with brain metastases was 10.0 months (95% CI 7.4-12.6 months). The differences in PFS between patients stratified by disease-free interval (DFI), the number of metastatic site and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score were statistically significant (all P < 0.05), but the difference in PFS between patients with negative and positive hormone receptor was not statistically significant ( P > 0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that DFI (>1 year vs. ≤1 year: HR = 5.254, 95% CI 0.728-37.933, P = 0.046) and ECOG score (≥2 points vs. 0-1 point: HR = 2.454, 95% CI 1.261-4.788, P = 0.008) were independent influencing factors of PFS. The most common ≥grade 3 adverse effects were diarrhea (31 cases, 20.9%) and hand-foot syndrome (38 cases, 25.8%). Conclusions:The pyrotinib has definite efficacy and good safety in the treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer in the real world, especially for patients with DFI > 1 year and ECOG score 0-1 point, the efficacy and safety are particularly good.
ABSTRACT
Biliary tract cancers (BTC) are highly heterogeneous tumours. Currently, the global demand for advanced BTC treatment is far from being met, and the survival benefit from advanced chemotherapy is limited. In recent years, with the rise of precision treatment, there are more and more treatment options available for advanced BTC. Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) inhibitors, including monoclonal antibodies, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, antibody drug conjugates, and bispecific antibodies, have been explored in BTC. This article reviews the research progress and prospects of HER2 inhibitors in BTC in recent years, so as to provide a better clinical guidance.
ABSTRACT
Breast cancer has become the malignant tumor with the highest incidence rate among women, of which human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive breast cancer accounts for about 15%-20%. With the development of anti HER2 targeted drugs, the survival and prognosis of HER2 positive breast cancer has significantly benefited. About 45%-55% of breast cancer patients have low HER2 expression, and these patients usually do not receive anti HER2 treatment. However, there is a significant difference between the biological behavior and prognosis of breast cancer with low HER2 expression and breast cancer with zero HER2 expression. It is helpful to differentiate and adopt corresponding treatment strategies to improve the prognosis of patients. At present, there have been many advances in targeted therapy of breast cancer with low HER2 expression, which provides a useful reference for precision treatment of breast cancer with low HER2 expression.
ABSTRACT
El cáncer de mama es la neoplasia más frecuente y de mayor mortalidad en las mujeres en todo el mundo. El receptor 2 del factor de crecimiento epidérmico humano (HER2) se sobreexpresa en aproximadamente el 20% de las pacientes con cáncer de mama y se asocia a mayor riesgo de recidiva tumoral y mortalidad. Antes del desarrollo de los anticuerpos monoclonales dirigidos contra HER2, el cáncer de mama HER2 positivo estaba asociado con un pronóstico desfavorable. El uso de las terapias dirigidas anti HER2 ha mejorado significativamente las tasas de supervivencia global tanto en el escenario adyuvante como en la enfermedad metastásica. En los últimos años han surgido nuevos medicamentos que bloquean esta vía de señalización, lo cual ha permitido establecer varias líneas de tratamiento con terapia anti HER2 en las pacientes con enfermedad metastásica. Por esta razón, las unidades funcionales de Oncología Clínica/Seno y Tejidos Blandos tomaron la decisión de realizar una revisión de la evidencia científica disponible a octubre de 2021, para establecer las recomendaciones en el abordaje terapéutico de las pacientes con cáncer de mama metastásico HER2 positivo en el Instituto Nacional de Cancerología (INC).
Breast cancer is the most common neoplasm and the one with the highest mortality in women worldwide. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is overexpressed in approximately 20% of breast cancer patients and is associated with an increased risk of tumor recurrence and mortality. Before the development of monoclonal antibodies directed against HER2, HER2-positive breast cancer was associated with a poor prognosis. The use of anti-HER2 targeted therapies has significantly improved overall survival rates both in the adjuvant setting and in metastatic disease. In recent years, new drugs have emerged that block this signaling pathway, which has made it possible to establish several lines of treatment with anti-HER2 therapy in patients with metastatic disease. For this reason, the clinical oncology/breast and soft tissue functional units made the decision to conduct a review of the available scientific evidence as of October 2021 to establish recommendations for the therapeutic approach to patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer in the National Cancer Institute (INC).

La adición de la terapia dirigida a la quimioterapia citotóxica en pacientes con cáncer de mama ha mejorado significativamente los desenlaces oncológicos en las pacientes con tumores HER2 positivo. El uso de pertuzumab durante el manejo neoadyuvante incrementa significativamente la respuesta patológica completa y en la actualidad permite emplear regímenes libres de antraciclinas con una eficacia similar y menores efectos cardiovasculares (en especial sobre la fracción de eyección). El beneficio en supervivencia libre de enfermedad invasiva, de adicionar pertuzumab en el escenario adyuvante en las pacientes sin tratamiento anti HER2 previo, está limitado a aquellas con ganglios positivos. La implementación de esquemas con bloqueo dual anti HER2, durante el tratamiento inicial del cáncer de mama HER2 positivo, mejora significativamente el pronóstico oncológico en este grupo de pacientes.
The addition of targeted therapy to cytotoxic chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer has significantly improved oncologic outcomes in patients with HER2-positive tumors. The use of pertuzumab during neoadjuvant management significantly increases the complete pathological response and currently allows the use of anthracycline-free regimens with similar efficacy and fewer cardiovascular effects (especially on ejection fraction). The benefit of pertuzumab in disease-free survival in the adjuvant setting for patients without prior anti-HER2 treatment is limited to those with positive nodes. The implementation of schemes with dual anti-HER2 blockade during the initial treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer significantly improves the oncological outcomes in this group of patients.

Objetivo. Analizar las diferencias en la presentación de variables clínico-patológicas, de acuerdo con la expresión proteica de GRB7, en tumores HER2 positivos en mujeres colombianas con cáncer de mama invasivo, diagnosticado entre los años 2013 y 2015 en el Instituto Nacional de Cancerología E.S.E (INC). Métodos. Se incluyeron 158 pacientes con diagnóstico confirmado de cáncer de mama ductal invasivo. Se evaluó la expresión de los receptores hormonales (receptor de estrógeno (RE) y de progesterona (RP)), HER2, Ki67 y GRB7, mediante inmunohistoquímica (IHQ), y a partir de estos, se clasificaron los tumores en subtipos intrínsecos. Los análisis estadísticos incluyeron las pruebas de Chi-cuadrado/test exacto de Fisher para las variables categóricas, y la prueba U Mann Whitney/ Kruskal Wallis para las variables cuantitativas. Se evaluó la supervivencia global (SG) y libre de enfermedad (SLR) según la coexpresión de HER2/GRB7 usando el método de Kaplan-Meier y el test de log-rank. Resultados. La expresión de GRB7 se observó exclusivamente en tumores HER2-positivos (luminal B/HER2+ y HER2-enriquecidos: p<0,001). Los casos HER2+/GRB7+ mostraron una mayor expresión de Ki67 (40% vs. 27,5%, p=0,029), pero una tendencia a presentar un menor tamaño tumoral (30 mm vs. 51 mm, p=0,097), comparado con los tumores HER2+/GRB7-. No obstante, no se observaron diferencias en la supervivencia según la coexpresión de HER2/GRB7 (SG: p=0,6; SLR: p=0,07). Conclusiones. En nuestra muestra de estudio, la expresión de GRB7 en tumores HER2+ no se asoció con características clínico-patológicas de pronóstico desfavorable.
Objective: To analyze differences in the presentation of clinicopathological variables according to GRB7 protein expression in HER2-positive tumors in Colombian patients with invasive ductal breast carcinomas diagnosed between 2013 and 2015 at the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología (Bogotá, Colombia).Methods: A total of 158 breast cancer patients were included with a confirmed diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma. A single pathologist evaluated the protein expression of hormone receptors (estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR)), HER2, Ki67, and GRB7 by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were used to assess differences between categorical variables, as well as the Mann-Whitney/Kruskal-Wallis U test for numerical variables. Overall (OS) and disease-free (DFS) survival were evaluated according to HER2/GRB7 co-expression using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test.Results:GRB7 expression was observed exclusively in HER2-positive tumors (luminal B/HER2+ and HER2-enriched: p<0.001). HER2+/GRB7+ cases showed higher Ki67 expression (40% vs. 27.5%, p=0.029) and a tendency to present a smaller tumor (30 mm vs. 51 mm, p=0.097) compared to HER2+/GRB7- tumors. However, no differences in OS or DFS were observed by HER2/GRB7 co-expression (OS: p=0.6; DFS: p=0.07).Conclusions:Our results in Colombian patients indicate that GRB7 expression in HER2-positive breast tumors is not associated with unfavorable clinicopathological features.

Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are abnormally expressed in a variety of tumors and participate in the occurrence and development of tumors. However, the expression and function of many LncRNAs in tumors have not been fully clarified. In this paper, 113 normal breast tissues and 1 109breast cancer tissues were analyzed in TCGT database. LncRNA AL133467. 1 was found to be lowly expressed in breast cancer tissues and negatively correlated with poor prognosis of breast cancer patients. The expression of AL133467. 1 in breast cancer cells was significantly lower than that in normal breast epithelial cells. We overexpressed AL133467. 1 in relatively low-expression breast cancer cells SKBR3and BT474, and cell count and plate colony-formation experiments showed that overexpression ofAL133467. 1 could significantly inhibit the proliferation and colony formation of breast cancer cells (P< 0. 01). Cell scratch and Transwell assays showed that the migration and invasion ability of breast cancer cells overexpressing AL133467. 1 was significantly reduced compared with the control group (P<0. 01). MiRDB database showed that AL133467. 1 had binding sites with miR-661. miR-661 could bind the transducer of ErbB2, 2 (ErbB2, 2, TOB2). qRT-PCR showed that miR-661 was highly expressed inbreast cancer cells and positively correlated with poor prognosis of breast cancer patients (P < 0. 001). Luciferase reporter assays showed that AL133467. 1 had specific binding to miR-661 (P < 0. 01). AL133467. 1 overexpression could inhibit the expression of miR-661 in breast cancer cells (P<0. 0001). Transfection of miR-661 mimics eliminated the inhibitory effect of overexpression of AL133467. 1 on breast cancer cells (P < 0. 001). In addition, qRT-PCR and Western blotting results showed that overexpression of AL133467. 1 up-regulated TOB2 mRNA (P < 0. 0001) and protein levels. But whenmiR-661 mimics were transfected, TOB2 mRNA (P < 0. 0001) and protein levels were significantly inhibited. In conclusion, as a competitive endogenous RNA of miR-661. AL133467. 1 promotes the expression of TOB2, thereby inhibiting the proliferation and invasion of breast cancer cells.
ABSTRACT
Cardiac disease is the general term of diseases, caused by damage to the structure or abnormal function of the heart. Its morbidity and mortality have remained high, seriously threatening the lives and health of people. The tyrosine kinase receptor ErbB2 (also known as EGFR2 or HER2) was originally discovered for its oncogenic activity, however, recent studies have found that ErbB2 have protective effects in various heart diseases. Therefore, this article reviews the role and underlying mechanism of ErbB2 in myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure, doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxic injury and diabetic cardiomyopathy. Furthermore, this article also preliminarily discusses the application prospects, limitations and development directions of ErbB2 as a clinical diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for heart disease.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the amplification / overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in patients with gallbladder cancer, and to analyze the correlation between amplification/overexpression of HER2 with clinicopathological features and survival in patients after R 0 resection. Methods:There were 14 males and 26 females, aged (60.3±8.7) years old and treated at the Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2011 to December 2016 who met the inclusion criteria of the study. Immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization were used to detect amplification / expression of HER2 in resected tumor tissues. Patients were divided into two groups according to the HER2 gene expression: the HER2-negative group ( n=40) and the HER2-positive group ( n=10). The Chi-square test was used to analyze the relationship between amplification/expression of HER2 and clinicopathological parameters. Patients were followed up by telephone for prognosis. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to explore factors affecting prognosis of gallbladder cancer patients. Results:HER2 amplification/overexpression was found in 10 patients with gallbladder cancer, with a positive rate of HER2 being 20.0% (10/50). There was a significant difference in the proportion of patients with vascular tumor thrombus between the HER2 negative group and the HER2 positive group [7.5%(3/40) vs. 30.0%(3/10), P<0.05]. On follow-up, data of 46 patients was available. There were 36 patients in the HER2-negative group and 10 patients in the HER2-positive group. Compared with the HER2-negative group, the median recurrence-free survival (10.10 vs. 75.07 months) and the median overall survival (16.77 vs. 83.07 months) of the HER2-positive group were both significantly lower (both P<0.05) than the HER2-negative group. Univariate analysis showed HER2 positivity to be a risk factor for recurrence-free and overall survival in patients with gallbladder cancer after radical resection. Cox multivariable analysis revealed that lymph node metastasis was an independent risk factor for both recurrence-free ( HR=4.31, 95% CI: 1.92-9.68, P<0.001) and overall survival ( HR=3.44, 95% CI: 1.08-11.00, P=0.037). Conclusion:Amplification / overexpression of HER2 was associated with venous invasion and worse prognosis in patients with gallbladder cancer.
ABSTRACT
The latest statistics show that breast cancer (BC) has become the cancer with the highest incidence in the world, seriously affecting women′s physical and mental health, and has become a hot research topic in the medical field. Accordingly, its treatment has also entered the molecular era. According to its molecular classification, BC is mainly divided into Luminal A, Luminal B, simple human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive and triple negetive breast cancer (TNBC). Obviously, correct judgment of HER2 expression status is very important for cancer typing and treatment of breast cancer. With the further development of research, some scholars have recently put forward new viewpoints and views on the interpretation of HER2 expression and cancer typing in breast cancer. This review will introduce the HER2-low breast cancer combined with the current frontier viewpoint and research findings, hoping to provide a reference for the precision treatment of breast cancer in the later stage and related further research.
ABSTRACT
Positively expressed human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) occurs in 20%-30% of breast cancer patients, and the prognosis of them is generally poor. Fortunately, the application of HER2-targeted drugs has bright hopes for these patients. The comprehensive detection strategy of immunohistochemistry (IHC) for detecting HER2 protein overexpression combined with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for detecting HER2 gene amplification is widely used in HER2 breast cancer. However, this strategy applied in some patients with specially expressed HER2 in clinic is still controversial. RNAscope technique can make in situ analysis of HER2 mRNA expression and can be used as a complementary method. This paper summarizes the detection methods of HER2 on protein, DNA and RNA levels in order to provide references for accurate HER2 detection methods in breast cancer.
ABSTRACT
Targeted therapy characterized with high specificity and low toxicity, is an important treatment method for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer, which can prolong the disease-free survival and the overall survival time of HER2-positive early breast cancer patients, and prolong the progression-free survival and the overall survival time of HER2-positive advanced patients with breast cancer. However, targeted drugs blocked the normal signaling pathway outside the target organs, and some patients experienced treatment-related adverse reactions, resulting in dose reduction, treatment delay and interruption, or even life-threatening consequences. Cardiotoxicity is one of the potentially serious side effects of targeted-HER2 drugs. Currently the targeted drugs for treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer patients include macromolecular monoclonal antibody drugs such as trastuzumab and pertuzumab, antibody-drug conjugates such as T-DM1 and T-DXd, and small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors. This paper reviews the cardiotoxicity of HER2 targeted drugs including antibody-drug conjugates monoclonal antibody drugs in targeted therapy for breast cancer in order to provide references for clinical treatment.
ABSTRACT
RESUMEN Introducción: El carcinoma mamario negativo a la expresión de receptores hormonales (RH negativo) incluye los subtipos moleculares Her-2/neu y triple negativo, asociados ambos a una mayor actividad biológica del tumor y un pronóstico desfavorable. Objetivo: Determinar la incidenciade los carcinomas triples negativos y Her-2/neu en carcinomas mamarios y su relación con variables clínico-patológicas de valor pronóstico. Métodos: Se realizó unestudio descriptivo, de corte transversal, en el Hospital Celestino Hernández, Villa Clara, entre enero de 2017 a junio de 2019. Se incluyeron 293 mujeres con diagnóstico de carcinoma de mama infiltrante, a cuyas biopsias se les realizó estudio inmunohistoquímico determinando la incidencia de los subtipos moleculares triple negativo y Her2/neu y su relación con otras variables de valor pronóstico. Resultados: En la serie se determinó la incidencia de los subtipos moleculares triples negativo y Her2/neu. En ambos subtipos moleculares, más de las dos terceras partes de las pacientes fueron mayores de 50 años, presentaron tallas tumorales mayor de 2 cm en el momento del diagnóstico y tuvieron histología ductal. Destaca además la relación de ambos subtipos moleculares con formas histológicas moderada y pobremente diferenciadas del carcinoma mamario. De igual forma, en ambos subtipos, el índice de proliferación determinado por Ki67 fue alto en más de las dos terceras partes de las pacientes estudiadas. Conclusiones: La edad posmenopáusica, el tipo histológico ductal, el grado histológico alto, el alto índice de Ki67 y la talla tumoral mayor de 2 cm se asocian con frecuencia a subtipos moleculares del carcinoma mamario negativos a receptores hormonales.
ABSTRACT Introduction: The breast carcinoma which is negative to the expression of hormonal receptors (negative RH) includes the molecular subtypes Her2/neu and triple negative, that are both associated to higher biological activity and a worse forecast. Objective: To determine the real incidence of the subtypes triple negative and Her2/neu in breast carcinoma and its correlation with prognostic value clinic-pathological variables. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was done in the Hospital Celestino Hernández, Villa Clara, from January 2017 to June 2019. It was included 293 women with diagnosis of infiltrating breast carcinoma, whose biopsies were studied by immunohistochemistry, determining the incidence of the molecular subtypes triple negative and overexpression of Her-2 and its correlation with others prognostic value variables. Results: In the series it was determined the incidence of the molecular subtypes triple negative and Her2/neu. In both molecular subtypes more two third of patients were older than 50 years old, had tumor size larger than 2 cm at the moment of diagnosis and had ductal histology. The correlation of the both molecular subtypes with moderately and poorly histological types of breast carcinoma stands out. In the same way the proliferation index determined by Ki67 was high in more two third of the studied patients. Conclusions: The post-menopausal age, the ductal histologic type, high histologic grade, high index of Ki67 and tumor size larger than 2 cm are often associated to molecular subtypes of breast carcinomas which are negative to the expression of hormonal receptors.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the correlation of PELP1/MNAR expression with expressions of estrogen receptor (ER), Ki-67, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and PIK3CA gene mutation.Methods:A total of 80 paraffin-embedded tissue specimens of primary invasive breast cancer patients in the Fifth People's Hospital of Datong in Shanxi Province from January 2008 to December 2018 were collected. The expression of PELP1/MNAR was examined by immunohistochemistry EliVision tow-step method. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-Sanger sequencing method was used to detect the mutation of PIK3CA gene. The expressions of PELP1/MNAR among patients with different expression status of ER, Ki-67, HER2 and with or without PIK3CA gene mutation were compared, and the correlations between each index and the expression of PELP1/MNAR were analyzed.Results:The high expression rates of PELP1/MNAR protein in patients with ER-positive [86.1% (31/36) vs. 59.1% (26/44)], Ki-67 high expression [100.0% (13/13) vs. 65.7% (44/67)], HER2-positive [81.0% (34/42) vs. 60.5% (23/38)] were high, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the high expression rate of PELP1/MNAR protein between patients with mutant and wild-type PIK3CA [60.0% (12/20) vs. 75.0% (45/60), P = 0.199]. The expression of PELP1/MNAR was negatively correlated with the expression level of ER ( r = -0.195, P < 0.05), positively correlated with the expression level of Ki-67 ( r = 0.198, P < 0.05), positively correlated with the expression level of HER2 ( r = 0.225, P < 0.05), and negatively correlated with lymph node metastasis ( r = -0.269, P < 0.05). Conclusions:The expression of PELP1/MNAR in invasive breast cancer is negatively correlated with the expression level of ER, and positively correlated with the expression level of Ki-67 and HER2. There is no correlation between PELP1/MNAR expression and PIK3CA gene mutation, and the two may play their own role in the PI3K-AKT-mTOR regulatory pathway of breast cancer.
ABSTRACT
Several studies have shown that human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) amplification could be a predictive biomarker of resistance to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor monoclonal antibodies in patients with RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Dual HER2 inhibition with trastuzumab plus lapatinib or pertuzumab has shown promising preliminary anti-tumoral efficacy in RAS wild-type mCRC. HER2-targeted therapeutic strategies have the potential to change the treatment paradigm for a clinically relevant subgroup of patients with mCRC.
ABSTRACT
@#[摘 要] 目的：探讨ERBB2.1转导蛋白反义RNA1（transducer of ERBB2.1 antisense RNA 1，TOB1-AS1）在上皮性卵巢癌（epithelial ovarian cancer，EOC）组织中的表达情况及其临床意义，初步探讨TOB1-AS1对EOC细胞体外增殖、迁移和侵袭的影响。方法：使用TCGA数据库对EOC组织中TOB1-AS1表达情况进行分析；收集2017年7月至2018年1月在河北医科大学第四医院妇科行肿瘤切除并经病理检查证实为EOC的67例患者的肿瘤组织，收集同期因其他妇科疾病接受手术的30例患者的非肿瘤卵巢组织作为对照。采用qPCR法检测EOC组织和非肿瘤卵巢组织中TOB1-AS1的表达水平，χ2检验分析TOB1-AS1的表达与不同临床病理特征之间的相关性，Kaplan-Meier和Cox比例风险回归模型分析患者生存及预后的潜在影响因素。CCK-8实验、划痕实验和Transwell实验分别检测敲低TOB1-AS1表达对EOC细胞SKOV3和A2780增殖、迁移和侵袭的影响。结果：TCGA数据库中资料和qPCR检测结果均显示，在EOC组织中TOB1-AS1的表达水平显著高于非肿瘤卵巢组织（均P<0. 01）。TOB1-AS1的高表达与EOC患者较晚的FIGO分期、较差的组织分级、淋巴结转移及腹膜转移有关（均P<0.05）。Kaplan-Meier生存分析结果显示，TOB1-AS1高表达组患者术后DFS和OS均短于TOB1-AS1低表达组（均P<0.05）。Cox比例风险回归模型分析结果显示，FIGO分期、淋巴结转移、腹膜转移及TOB1-AS1表达是EOC患者预后的独立影响因素（均P<0.05）。TOB1-AS1在EOC细胞系SKOV3、A2780中的表达水平也显著高于正常卵巢上皮细胞系IOSE80（均P<0.01）。细胞功能实验结果显示，敲低TOB1-AS1可抑制SKOV3和A2780细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭（均P<0.05）。结论：TOB1-AS1在EOC组织中高表达，与患者的不良预后显著相关。TOB1-AS1可能通过促进EOC细胞SKOV3、A2780的增殖、迁移和侵袭来影响EOC的恶性进展。
ABSTRACT
Introducción: El tratamiento neodyuvante del cáncer de mama HER2 positivo ha ido evolucionando a través del tiempo, con la implementación de nuevas estrategias de manejo terapéutico. Es de esta manera como el trastuzumab, un anticuerpo monoclonal anti-HER2sigue siendo el tratamiento estándar en este subtipo de cáncer, los primeros estudios en los que se evidencia su eficacia son el realizado por el Dr. Buzdar y el estudio NOAH en los cuales las pacientes alcanzaron mayores tasas de respuesta patológica completa en comparación con quimioterapia sola, así como también un mayor número de cirugías conservadoras de mama en lugar de mastectomía.Con el paso de los años se han ido desarrollando nuevas estrategias de manejo terapéutico, así tenemos el doble bloqueo anti-HER2 con los anticuerpos monoclonales trastuzumab y pertuzumab que han mejorado las tasas de respuesta patológica completa. Además se ha incluido al lapatinib un inhibidor de tirosina quinasa como parte de las terapias dirigidas. Se ha dilucidado si las antraciclinas confieren un beneficio adicional al tratamiento neoadyuvante y los estudios demuestran que el beneficio es el mismo queotros esquemas de quimioterapia. Es en realidad la quimioterapia indispensable en la neoadyuvancia, el estudio PHERGain demuestra que existen pacientes que pueden alcanzar respuesta patológica completa solo con el doble bloqueo anti-her2 (trastuzumab y pertuzumab) lo que evitaría la toxicidad innecesaria por quimioterapia, y se podrían desarrollar estrategias para el manejo de aquellas pacientes que no alcanzaron una respuestapatológica completa posterior al doble bloqueo. Aún queda un campo amplio por explorar y con estudios en curso al momento. Palabras claves:DsCS:Receptor ErbB-2, Trastuzumab, Neoplasias de la Mama, Quimioterapia Adyuvante, Ado-Trastuzumab Emtansina
Introduction:The neodyuvanttreatment of HER2 positive breast cancer has evolved over time, with the implementation of new therapeutic management strategies. It is in this way that trastuzumab, an anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody continues to be the standard treatment in this subtype of cancer, the first studies in which its efficacy is evidenced are the one carried out by Dr. Buzdar and the NOAH study in which patients achieved higher rates of complete pathological response compared to chemotherapy alone, as well as a higher number of breast-conserving surgeries rather than mastectomy.Over the years, new therapeutic management strategies have been developed, thus we have the double anti-HER2 blockade with the monoclonal antibodies trastuzumab and pertuzumab that have improved the ratesof complete pathological response. In addition, lapatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has been included as part of targeted therapies. It has been elucidated whether anthracyclines confer an additional benefit to neoadjuvant treatment and studies show that the benefit is the same as other chemotherapy regimens.It is actually the essential chemotherapy in neoadjuvant therapy, the PHERGain study shows that there are patients who can achieve a complete pathological response only with the double anti-her2 blockade (trastuzumab and pertuzumab), which would avoid unnecessary toxicity due to chemotherapy, and strategies could be developed for the management of those patients who did not achieve a complete pathological response after double blockade. There is still a wide field to explore and with studies underway at the moment. Keywords:MESH:Receptor, ErbB-2;Trastuzumab; Breast Neoplasms; Chemotherapy, Adjuvant; Ado-Trastuzumab Emtansine

ABSTRACT Introduction. In Peru, breast cancer represents the most common type of cancer in women and the sixth most lethal type of cancer in the general population. Overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2 +) occurs in 20% to 30% of breast cancers, and is associated with more aggressive tumors, with greater recurrence and greater mortality. Objective. Prepare a set of evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of HER2 + breast cancer, in order to help reduce mortality, disease progression and improve quality of life. Methods. A panel of clinical specialists and methodologists was formed, who identified relevant clinical questions about the diagnosis and treatment of HER2 + breast cancer. A systematic search for CPGs was carried out in Medline (PubMed), and in developing and compiling agencies. For the formulation of recommendations, the panel of specialists discussed the evidence and elements of the context of implementation of the recommendation, following the methodology proposed by the Ministry of Health of Peru. Results. Nine clinical questions were prioritized. A total of 25 clinical recommendations were made. Conclusions. An evidence-based CPG was developed through a systematic, rigorous and transparent process developed by a multidisciplinary team.
ABSTRACT
En el cáncer de mama luminal, la terapia hormonal está indicada en adyuvancia y neoadyuvancia. El estadio metastásico incluye un grupo heterogéneo de tumores que varían de acuerdo con el sitio de metástasis, tiempo de aparición, condición general de las pacientes, entre otras características intrínsecas del tumor. Esto establece tiempos de sobrevida con rangos variables de meses a muchos años. Los estrógenos actúan en receptores de membrana citoplasmática y nuclear: en las células neoplásicas estimulan la transcripción del ARN, con persistencia de la proliferación. El bloqueo de la acción hormonal en el cáncer avanzado encuentra mecanismos de resistencia con el uso de vías de señalización paralelas, este conocimiento ha permitido el desarrollo de inhibidores de CDK 4/6, mTOR y PIK3-CA, que se recomiendan en enfermedad metastásica, con prolongación significativa de la supervivencia global. En crisis visceral aún se mantiene el uso de quimioterapia sistémica secuencial o combinada
For a patient with estrogen receptor positivebreast cancer, the adjuvant and neoadjuvant endocrine therapy has an absolute benefit. The metastatic stage includes a diverse group of tumors that vary according to the site of metastasis, time of appear, general condition of the patients, and other intrinsic characteristics of the tumor. survival in cancer varies according these features, from a few months to many years. Estrogen hormones stimulate nuclear and cytoplasmic receptors. In neoplastic cells, estrogen regulate RNA transcription, with persistence of proliferation. The blocking of hormonal action in metastatic cancer, has resistance mechanisms with the use of parallel signaling pathways, this knowledge has allowed the development of inhibitors of CDK 4/6, mTOR and PIK3-CA, which are recommended in metastatic disease. with significant prolongation of overall survival. In visceral crisis, the use of sequential or combined systemic chemotherapy is still maintained

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breasts in the identification of a pathological complete response in patients with breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Materials and Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective, observational study designed to validate a diagnostic test. The following variables were evaluated: age; results of the histological and immunohistochemical analysis of the biopsy; post-NAC MRI findings; and results of the histological analysis of the surgical specimen, using the residual cancer burden index. The radiological response, as assessed by MRI, was compared with the pathological response, as assessed by histological analysis of the surgical specimen (the gold standard method). Results: We evaluated 310 tumors in 308 patients. The mean age of the patients was 47 years (range, 27-85 years). For identifying a pathological complete response, breast MRI had an overall accuracy of 79%, with a sensitivity of 75%, specificity of 83%, positive predictive value of 75%, and negative predictive value of 83%. When that accuracy was stratified by molecular subtype, it was best for the HER2 subtype, with a sensitivity and specificity of 82% and 89%, respectively, followed by the triple-negative subtype, with a sensitivity and specificity of 78% and 83%, respectively. Conclusion: Breast MRI showed good accuracy in the prediction of a pathological complete response after NAC. The sensitivity and positive predictive value were highest for the HER2 and triple-negative subtypes.
Resumo Objetivo: Avaliar a acurácia da ressonância magnética (RM) das mamas na identificação de resposta patológica completa em pacientes com câncer de mama submetidas a quimioterapia neoadjuvante (QTN). Materiais e Métodos: Teste de validação diagnóstica, realizado por meio de estudo observacional, unicêntrico e retrospectivo. As variáveis avaliadas no estudo foram idade, resultado histológico e imuno-histoquímico da biópsia, análise da RM após QTN e análise histológica da peça cirúrgica, com cálculo do índice residual cancer burden. Os resultados da resposta radiológica pela RM foram comparados com a resposta patológica na peça cirúrgica (padrão ouro). Resultados: Foram incluídos 310 tumores de 308 pacientes com média de idade de 47 anos (variação: 27 a 85 anos). A acurácia da RM foi 79%, com sensibilidade de 75%, especificidade de 83%, valor preditivo positivo de 75% e valor preditivo negativo de 83%. Estratificando-se por subtipo molecular, a detecção da resposta patológica pela RM obteve os melhores porcentuais de acerto no subtipo HER2 superexpresso, com sensibilidade e especificidade de 82% e 89%, respectivamente, seguido do subtipo triplo negativo, com sensibilidade e especificidade de 78% e 83%, respectivamente. Conclusão: A RM demonstrou boa acurácia na predição de resposta patológica completa após QTN. A sensibilidade e o valor preditivo positivo foram mais altos nos subtipos triplo negativo e HER2 superexpresso.
