Modulation of the Tumor Microenvironment with Trastuzumab Enables Radiosensitization in HER2+Breast Cancer

Patrick N. Song et al.

Summary: This study investigates the synergistic effect of trastuzumab and radiation therapy in treating HER2-overexpressing breast cancer. It is found that a subtherapeutic dose of trastuzumab sensitizes the tumor microenvironment to fractionated radiation, resulting in a sustained response through innate immune activation, reduced DNA damage repair, and increased tumor oxygenation. The findings suggest that combination therapies can enhance the effectiveness of radiation therapy in HER2-positive breast cancer by modulating the tumor microenvironment.

Making a Cold Tumor Hot: The Role of Vaccines in the Treatment of Glioblastoma

Stephen C. Frederico et al.

Summary: The use of immunotherapies for brain tumors has generated excitement, but challenges remain in treating GBM due to its immunologically cold nature. Strategies such as vaccine therapy combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors are being explored to overcome these challenges and enhance treatment options for patients with GBM in the future.

Trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity: a review of clinical risk factors, pharmacologic prevention, and cardiotoxicity of other HER2-directed therapies

Naomi Dempsey et al.

Summary: While trastuzumab has been successful in treating breast cancer, it may lead to heart failure and loss of left ventricular function. Risk factors for trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity include cardiovascular disease, older age, and prior anthracycline treatment, with anthracycline exposure being the most significant. Cardiac biomarkers and imaging assessments can help in early identification of cardiotoxicity, and initiation of certain medications may prevent this complication. Other HER2-targeted therapies seem to have lower rates of cardiotoxicity compared to trastuzumab, with anthracycline-free regimens now considered standard of care for early HER2-positive breast cancer.

EGFR in Cancer: Signaling Mechanisms, Drugs, and Acquired Resistance

Mary Luz Uribe et al.

Summary: Growth factors like epidermal growth factor (EGF) can promote cell division and migration, but cancer hijacks these mechanisms for tumor growth and metastasis. Over-production and mutations of EGF and EGFR are common in various cancers, making them popular targets for anti-cancer therapies. The activation of EGFR triggers a series of molecular switches controlling gene expression, with implications for drug resistance and metastasis.
