Background: Previous studies have suggested that patients with HER2-low breast cancers do not benefit from trastuzumab treatment although the reasons remain unclear.
Methods: We investigated the effect of trastuzumab monotherapy and its combination with different HER2 targeting treatments in a panel of breast cancer cell lines and patient-derived organoids (PDOs) using biochemical methods and cell viability assays.
Results: Compared to sensitive HER2 over-expressing (IHC3 + ) breast cancer cells, increasing doses of trastuzumab could not achieve IC50 in MDA-MB-361 (IHC 2 + FISH + ) and MDA-MB-453 (IHC 2 + FISH-) cells which showed an intermediate response to trastuzumab.
Approximately 59 % of patients with breast cancer with one or two sentinel lymph nodes (1-2 SLN) macrometastases do not benefit from axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), which may also incur morbidities. It is necessary to evaluate the association between various clinicopathological characteristics and non-sentinel lymph node metastases (non-SLNM) in patients with breast cancer with 1-2 SLN macrometastases, and determine whether they 1-2 should avoid ALND. Eight electronic literature databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Scientific Journal, Wanfang, and Chinese Biomedical Literature) were searched from their inception to June 30, 2023, and two reviewers independently extracted the data and assessed the risk of bias.

Background/aim: One of the hallmarks of cancer is deregulation of multiple signaling pathways, which can lead to uncontrolled proliferation and migration of cells. Over-expression and mutations in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) can lead to overactivation of these pathways, potentially developing cancer in different tissues, including breast tissue. IGF-1R and ITGB-1 are two receptors that have been linked to cancer development.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether a predictive model based on a contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)-based nomogram and clinical features (Clin) could differentiate Her-2-overexpressing breast cancers from other breast cancers.
Methods: A total of 152 pathology-proven breast cancers including 55 Her-2-overexpressing cancers and 97 other cancers from two units that underwent preoperative CEUS examination, were included and divided into training (n = 102) and validation cohorts (n = 50). Multivariate regression analysis was utilized to identify independent indicators for developing predictive nomogram models.
