24 ARV-471, a PROTAC Estrogen Receptor (ER) Degrader in Advanced ER+/Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)– Breast Cancer: Phase 2 Expansion (VERITAC) of a Phase 1/2 Study

Cynthia Ma, MD, PhD, explains key efficacy findings regarding HER-targeted therapy to treat patients with HER2-mutant breast cancer.

An expert in treating breast cancer discusses potential therapy options for patients with HER2-mutant.

CancerNetwork® spoke with Cynthia X. Ma, MD, PhD, of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, following the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting 2021 about the benefits of the meeting to clinical trial investigators.

CancerNetwork® spoke with Cynthia X. Ma, MD, PhD, during the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting 2021 about data supporting the potential use of the exemestane/leuprolide acetate plus pembrolizumab combination.

This article aims to provide an overview of The Cancer Genome Atlas findings, with a particular focus on their potential biological relevance and therapeutic implications.

It is time to develop more active treatments in the early-disease setting that actually eradicate ER-positive breast cancer before new mutations and secondary resistance have a chance to develop. In this regard, standard chemotherapy is not the answer.

Poly(adenosine diphosphate [ADP]–ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors are designed to exploit the “synthetic lethality” concept for cancer therapy.

This article reviews ongoing progress in the effort to identify predictors of endocrine therapy responsiveness for breast cancer and discusses the value of “pre-treatment” vs “on-treatment” tumor profiling for predicting outcomes.
