Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a highly expressed driver of many cancers, yet the utility of EGFR inhibitors is limited to cancers that harbor sensitizing mutations in the EGFR gene due to dose limiting toxicities. Rather than conventionally blocking the kinase activity of EGFR, we sought to reduce its transcription as an alternative approach to broaden the therapeutic window for EGFR inhibitors targeting wildtype or mutant EGFR. We found that YES1 is highly expressed in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and drives cell growth by elevating EGFR levels.

Purpose Of Review: Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are quickly becoming frontline standard of care in many tumor types, including urothelial carcinoma. This review summarizes recent clinical investigations into the use of ADCs targeting nectin-4, trophoblast cell surface antigen-2 (Trop-2), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2), and other antigens in urothelial carcinoma.

Recent Findings: This review covers efficacy and toxicity data of ADCs alone and in combination with immunotherapy; mechanisms of resistance; and preclinical studies that provide biological basis for clinical approaches.

Purpose: Radiotherapy (RT)/cetuximab (C) demonstrated superiority over RT alone for locally advanced squamous head and neck cancer. We tested this in completely resected, intermediate-risk cancer.

Methods: Patients had squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) of the oral cavity, oropharynx, or larynx, with one or more risk factors warranting postoperative RT.

Epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors (EGFRI) are biological factors used in several types of cancer, including non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC). One of the EGFR inhibitors that has been approved for NSCLC is afatinib. Dermatologic adverse events are the most commonly reported and may impair the patient's compliance to the therapy as it causes aesthetic discomfort and significantly impact the patient's quality of life.
