Efficacy analysis of disitamab vedotin (RC-48) in the treatment of HER2-low metastatic breast cancer: a case report - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42158440/

HER2-low breast cancer, defined as immunohistochemistry (IHC) 1+ or 2+ with negative in situ hybridization (ISH), has emerged as a clinically relevant therapeutic subgroup. We report the case of a...

Case highlights disitamab vedotin (RC-48) activity in heavily pretreated HER2-low metastatic breast cancer, demonstrating regression of cutaneous and visceral metastases while emphasizing dynamic HER2 status changes and the importance of repeat biopsy.

Respiratory viral infections awaken metastatic breast cancer cells in lungs - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40739350/

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer globally, with most deaths caused by metastatic disease, often following long periods of clinical dormancy 1 . Understanding the mechanisms that disrupt...

Study shows respiratory viral infections trigger inflammation that reactivates dormant breast cancer cells in lungs, promoting rapid metastatic growth via IL-6–dependent mechanisms, with human data confirming increased metastasis and mortality risk.
