High-Risk Node-Positive Hormone Receptor-Positive/HER2-Low Breast Cancer Relapse on Adjuvant Abemaciclib Treatment with ER Loss at Metastatic Recurrence: A Case Report and Literature Review. (PubMed, Diagnostics (Basel))
Conversely, T-DXd administered due to the presence of HER2-low showed excellent effectiveness. Performing a re-biopsy is crucial due to the possible loss of estrogen receptors, which would require a change in therapeutic strategy no longer based on endocrine therapy. In cases that remain luminal, knowledge of the mutational profile may help to offer patients novel targeted treatments.

Trastuzumab Deruxtecan in Residual HER2-Positive Early Breast Cancer. (PubMed, N Engl J Med)
In patients with high-risk, residual invasive HER2-positive breast cancer, postneoadjuvant T-DXd resulted in a significantly higher likelihood of invasive disease-free survival than T-DM1; toxic effects were mainly gastrointestinal and hematologic. An important identified risk of T-DXd is interstitial lung disease, which requires appropriate monitoring and management.

HER2-low and ultralow expression of invasive breast carcinoma: clinicopathological features and immunohistochemical consistency analysis. (PubMed, NPJ Breast Cancer)
AI-assisted interpretation improved observer agreement (Kappa: 0.703 vs. 0.610 in non-amplified cases) and reduced ambiguous immunohistochemistry (IHC) 2+/0 assignments. These findings delineate distinct clinicopathological characteristics of HER2-ultralow/null tumors, highlight HER2 IHC reproducibility challenges, and validate AI as an effective tool for standardizing scoring to optimize patient selection for T-DXd therapy.

Advances in Immunotherapy for HER2 Low-Expressing Triple-Negative Breast Cancer. (PubMed, Cancer Manag Res)
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), particularly trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), have markedly improved survival and also exert antitumor effects through immune activation...Tumor vaccines and genomics-driven targeted drugs, such as trastuzumab-α-amanitin conjugates, hold promise in reactivating antitumor immunity. This review summarizes current progress in immunotherapy for HER2 low-expressing TNBC, with emphasis on ADCs, combination regimens, and emerging precision strategies, aiming to inform future research and clinical application.

Real-world evaluation of interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis in patients treated with trastuzumab deruxtecan for HER2-positive advanced or recurrent gastric cancer: a postmarketing surveillance study in Japan. (PubMed, ESMO Open)
The incidence of ILD with T-DXd in the real-world setting was similar to that observed in clinical trials, indicating no new ILD-related safety signals. Further investigation of the identified factors may offer insights into ILD incidence in high-risk populations.

Treatment options for senior gastric cancer patients (aged ≥60 years): a worldwide network meta-analysis. (PubMed, Int J Surg)
pDuFLOT and pSOX are potential regimens among senior patients with resectable gastric cancer. At this moment, pDuFLOT may be globally used while pSOX should better be applied among East Asian countries. CadCAPOX, SuCAPOX, PemCAPOX and NiCAPOX are considered as potential first-line regimens among HER2-negative senior patients. CadCAPOX and SuCAPOX are probably more fit for East Asian patients currently, while NiCAPOX may be better applied among Western countries and PemCAPOX has the potential of worldwide application. SuCAPOX is a potential regimen among HER2-negative/PD-L1-positive senior patients, while PemCAPOX may also be considered. Currently, standard CAPOX or FOLFOX regimen may still be available for HER2-negative senior patients with CLDN18.2, FGFR2b or MET positivity. Meanwhile, among HER2-positive senior patients, TraCAPOX is still considered to be available. Regarding first-line maintenance treatments, RamP is a potential regimen among HER2-negative or non-specific senior patients, especially those from Western countries. As second-line regimens, FruP and RamP may be potentially available among East Asian and worldwide HER2-negative senior patients respectively, while T-DXd has the potential of global application among HER2-positive counterparts. Concerning third-line or subsequent regimens, T-DXd is potentially available among HER2-positive senior patients, especially from East Asian countries. Among HER2-negative or non-specific patients, RamIRI is a potential regimen, especially among East Asian patients, while nivolumab and regorafenib may still be available at this moment. Meanwhile, nivolumab and other parallel regimens already recommended by guidelines are still potentially available among HER2-negative/CLDN18.2-positive senior patients. As the first network meta-analysis on this topic, our conclusions may not only provide potential supplements for current guidelines, but also reveal the necessity and directions for future clinical and mechanism researches, especially because of the underpowered subgroup data and exploratory nature of regional applicability.

Therapeutic Applications and Target Strategies of Antibody-Drug Conjugates in Ovarian Cancer. (PubMed, Iran J Pharm Res)
This review summarizes a range of ADCs targeting tumor-associated antigens in ovarian cancer, including mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV), trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd), sacituzumab tirumotecan (SKB-264), PF-06664178, anetumab ravtansine (BAY 94-9343), BMS-986148, DMOT4039A, RC88, lifastuzumab vedotin (DNIB0600A), upifitamab rilsodotin (ABBV-181), ZW220, DMUC4064A, and sofituzumab vedotin (DMUC5754A). The ADCs hold significant potential to reshape the treatment landscape for ovarian cancer by providing targeted therapeutic options. Further research is required to optimize patient selection, address resistance mechanisms, and improve safety profiles.

Efficacy and safety of trastuzumab deruxtecan in HER2-high and HER2-low breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. (PubMed, J Chemother)
However, T-DXd increased the risks of interstitial lung disease (relative risk &lsqb;RR] = 13.832; P < 0.001), decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (RR = 2.247; P < 0.001), anemia, nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, and alopecia; neutropenia and diarrhea risks were comparable between groups. These findings highlight T-DXd's survival benefits and toxicity profile warranting monitoring.

HER2 in Gynecological Malignancies: Bridging the Gap Between Standardized Pathological Assessment and Precision Therapy. (PubMed, Crit Rev Oncol Hematol)
Trastuzumab-based therapy has shown survival benefit in HER2-positive SEC, leading to its inclusion in current treatment guidelines...The prognostic value remains debated, though recent trials of antibody-drug conjugates (e.g., T-DXd) show promise...Diagnostic challenges include variable scoring systems, intratumoral heterogeneity, and HER2-low classification. Standardization of testing criteria and further clinical validation of HER2-targeted strategies across gynecologic tumors are essential to guide personalized therapy and improve outcomes.

Antibody-Drug Conjugates in Urothelial, Prostate, and Renal Cell Cancers: A Review of Current and Emerging Therapies. (PubMed, Crit Rev Oncol Hematol)
Recent trials demonstrate encouraging outcomes with ADC such as Enfortumab Vedotin (EV), Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG), Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd), and Disitamab Vedotin (DV) in UC, improving response rates and Progression-Free Survival (PFS). In RCC, ADC against ENPP3, CD70, and TIM-1 show durable responses in early trials, though challenges such as dose-limiting toxicities require further investigation. Overall, this review underscores ADC as a transformative approach in uro-oncology, highlighting ongoing advancements in combination strategies and biomarker-driven applications to refine therapeutic outcomes and expand treatment options for these challenging malignancies.

Clinicomics for predicting HER2 expression in metastatic colorectal cancer: a multicenter machine learning analysis on real-world data. (PubMed, Oncology)
Hb 100 ng/mL, height >160 cm, and the presence of lymph node metastases were associated with HER2 expression and positivity. HER2 testing should be considered mandatory when all these factors are present. The mechanisms linking these four factors to HER2 expression require further investigation.
