11 years' follow-up of trastuzumab after adjuvant chemotherapy in HER2-positive early breast cancer: final analysis of the HERceptin Adjuvant (HERA) trial.
(2017-03)
Background Clinical trials have shown that trastuzumab, a recombinant monoclonal antibody against HER2 receptor, significantly improves overall survival and disease-free survival in women with HER2-positive early breast ...
Association analysis identifies 65 new breast cancer risk loci.
(2017-11)
Breast cancer risk is influenced by rare coding variants in susceptibility genes, such as BRCA1, and many common, mostly non-coding variants. However, much of the genetic contribution to breast cancer risk remains unknown. ...
Integration of RNAi and Small Molecule Screens to Identify Targets for Drug Development.
(2019-01)
Cellular models for siRNA and small molecule high-throughput screening have been widely used in the last decade to identify targets for drug discovery. As an example, we present a twofold readout approach based on cell ...
Plasma ESR1 Mutations and the Treatment of Estrogen Receptor-Positive Advanced Breast Cancer.
(2016-09)
Purpose ESR1 mutations are selected by prior aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy in advanced breast cancer. We assessed the impact of ESR1 mutations on sensitivity to standard therapies in two phase III randomized trials that ...
Novel 18-gene signature for predicting relapse in ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.
(2018-09-04)
Background Several prognostic signatures for early oestrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer have been established with a 10-year follow-up. We tested the hypothesis that signatures optimised for 0-5-year and 5-10-year ...
Driver Oncogenes but Not as We Know Them: Targetable Fusion Genes in Breast Cancer.
(2018-03)
<b/> Two reports in this issue of Cancer Discovery outline how the genomic composition of tumors, including the presence of intragenic gene fusions, could inform the selection of treatment approaches in aggressive forms ...
Use of anastrozole for breast cancer prevention (IBIS-II): long-term results of a randomised controlled trial.
(2020-01)
BACKGROUND:Two large clinical trials have shown a reduced rate of breast cancer development in high-risk women in the initial 5 years of follow-up after use of aromatase inhibitors (MAP.3 and International Breast Cancer ...
Embryonic transcription factor SOX9 drives breast cancer endocrine resistance.
(2017-05-15)
The estrogen receptor (ER) drives the growth of most luminal breast cancers and is the primary target of endocrine therapy. Although ER blockade with drugs such as tamoxifen is very effective, a major clinical limitation ...
Characterization of sugar binding by the mannose receptor family member, Endo180.
(AMER SOC BIOCHEMISTRY MOLECULAR BIOLOGY INC, 2002-12-27)
Members of the mannose receptor family, the mannose receptor, the phospholipase A(2) receptor, DEC-205, and Endo180, contain multiple C-type lectin-like domains (CTLDs) within a single polypeptide. In addition, at their N ...
