Human EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) family of tyrosine kinase receptors consists of four members, ErbB1-4. Abnormalities in the ErbB family characterize a variety of human cancers, including breast cancer. Tyrosine kinase is recruited by the activated EGFR cell surface receptor, which transmitted signals from the receptor to interact with intracellular signaling pathways and regulate cellular functions and biological processes. Targeting the intracellular signaling pathways has been aided in the drug development that was already in use and more continually being developed. The review article highlights the function of ErbB receptors/ligands, their role in signaling pathways, effective targeted drugs, and a combination of targeted drug strategies in the treatment of breast cancer that could be leading to the novel combination of anticancer drug delivery systems.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death and the most common cancer among women worldwide. It is crucial to identify potentially modifiable risk factors to intervene and prevent breast cancer effectively. Sleep factors have emerged as a potentially novel risk factor for female breast cancer.

Objective(s): Some forms of breast cancer such as triple-negative phenotype, are serious challenge because of high metastatic cases, high mortality and resistance to conventional therapy motivated the search for alternative treatment approaches. Nanomaterials are promising candidates and suitable alternatives for improving tumor and cancer cell treatments.

Rearranged during transfection (RET) kinase is a validated therapeutic target for various cancers characterized by RET alterations. Although two selective RET inhibitors, selpercatinib and pralsetinib, have been approved by the FDA, acquired resistance through solvent-front mutations has been identified rapidly. Developing proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) targeting RET mutations offers a promising strategy to combat drug resistance.

Tumor-specific cytotoxic T cell immunity is critically dependent on effective antigen presentation and sustained signal transduction. However, this immune response is frequently compromised by the inherently low immunogenicity of breast cancer and the deficiency in major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) expression. Herein, a chimeric peptide-engineered stoichiometric polyprodrug (PDPP) is fabricated to potentiate the cytotoxic T cell response, characterized by a high drug loading capacity and precise stoichiometric drug ratio, of which the immunogenic cell death (ICD) inducer of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) and the epigenetic drug of decitabine (DAC) are condensed into a polyprodrug called PpIX-DAC.
