HER2 in uterine serous carcinoma

Pdf Summary

The document explores the significance of HER2 in uterine serous carcinoma (USC), emphasizing its role as a biomarker with implications for prognosis and therapy. It discusses staining patterns, intratumoral heterogeneity, and the need for standardized testing systems for HER2 in USC. Clinical trials have shown promise in HER2-targeted therapies for advanced USC, with efforts ongoing to establish specific testing criteria for this cancer subtype. The text also covers the cost-effectiveness of therapies like trastuzumab, Antibody-Drug Conjugates, and Small Molecule Inhibitors for HER2-positive USC. Studies on novel agents and resistance mechanisms to HER2-targeted therapies are highlighted, stressing the importance of standardized testing and treatment strategies to optimize outcomes for USC patients. The document calls for further research on HER2-low status and dual targeting approaches to overcome resistance in USC, while advocating for evidence-based HER2 testing guidelines tailored to this aggressive cancer type.
