Preclinical, Journal: Evaluation of lapatinib cytotoxicity and genotoxicity on MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 28, 2020 However, laptinib reduced the EGFR protein expression and EGFR signals, it raised the apoptotic cells and TP53 gene signals, which triggered extensive DNA damage. Therefore, lapatinib is an effective TKI in triple negative breast cancer cells as elucidated by its mode of cell death.

The FDA also approved 1 year of extended adjuvant neratinib after chemotherapy and a year of trastuzumab for HER2-positive breast cancer on the basis of the ExteNET trial...In this article, we review the current data on the therapeutic management of HER2-positive early-stage breast cancer in the adjuvant and neoadjuvant setting. We also review the data the efficacy and safety of anthracycline-based and nonanthracycline-based adjuvant chemotherapy regimens combined with trastuzumab, and optimum chemotherapy regimens in small HER2-positive tumors.

Biomarker, Journal: Resistance to lysosomotropic drugs used to treat kidney and breast cancers involves autophagy and inflammation and converges in inducing CXCL5. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 17, 2020 P=N/A Sunitinib is standard care for metastatic renal cell carcinomas (mRCC) and lapatinib is used for trastuzumab/pertuzumab-refractory cancers...The levels of CXCL5 present in the plasma of patients treated with sunitinib were predictive of the efficacy of sunitinib but not of the VEGF-directed antibody bevacizumab. This translational study identified CXCL5 as a biomarker of efficacy of lysosomotropic drugs, a potential asset for personalized medicine.

Journal: Targeting promiscuous heterodimerization overcomes innate resistance to ERBB2 dimerization inhibitors in breast cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 11, 2020 An EGFR-targeting therapy could be an important treatment for Cushing's disease. The interaction of ERBB2 with a number of non-canonical RTKs activates a compensatory signalling response following treatment with pertuzumab, although a counter-intuitive combination of ERBB2 antibody therapy and a kinase inhibitor can overcome this innate therapeutic resistance.

Retrospective data, Journal, Adverse events: Targeted Tumour Therapy Induced Papulopustular Rash and Other Dermatologic Side Effects: A Retrospective Study. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 11, 2020 With the increasing use of targeted therapies, dermatologists are now confronted with the extensive spectrum of skin toxicities. Therefore, it is critical for dermatologists to be aware of these toxicities so as to develop the best approach without discontinuation of cancer therapy.

Therefore, it is critical for dermatologists to be aware of these toxicities so as to develop the best approach without discontinuation of cancer therapy. The future of cardiotoxicity management in patients with HER2+ breast cancer is discussed, with a focus on novel techniques to improve cardiac outcomes, including new imaging modalities, biomarkers, interventional therapies, and ongoing trials.

(Pubmed Central) - Jan 2, 2020 There is insufficient evidence to make recommendations regarding: the use of epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors erlotinib and gefitinib in patients with brain metastasis due to nonsmall cell lung cancerthe use of BRAF inhibitors dabrafenib and vemurafenib in the treatment of patients with brain metastases due to metastatic melanomathe use of HER2 agents trastuzumab and lapatinib to treat patients with brain metastases due to metastatic breast cancerthe use of vascular endothelial growth factor agents bevacizumab, sunitinib, and sorafenib in the treatment of patients with solid tumor brain metastases.

Journal: Triggered Release Enhances the Cytotoxicity of Stable Colloidal Drug Aggregates. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 1, 2020 By stabilizing acid-responsive lapatinib colloids through coaggregation with fulvestrant, and inclusion of transferrin, we demonstrate colloid internalization by cancer cells, where subsequent lapatinib ionization leads to endosomal leakage and increased cytotoxicity. These results demonstrate a strategy for triggered drug release from stable colloidal aggregates.

Journal, Combination therapy: Liposomal Lapatinib in Combination with Low-Dose Photodynamic Therapy for the Treatment of Glioma. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 22, 2019 As lapatinib is approved for other oncological indications, a realization of its potential combination with PDT and in fluorescence-guided resection could be readily tested clinically. Furthermore, as its use would only be in acute settings, long-term resistance should not pose an issue as compared to its use as monotherapy.

DDAs thus represent a new therapeutic approach to cancer therapy.

This case contributes to the growing evidence of HER2 in the pathogenesis of metastatic extramammary Paget's disease and emphasizes the importance of repetitive, genomic analysis in rare diseases.
