Abstract:
Breast cancer is one of the common malignant tumors in women.Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer patients account for 20%~30% of the total number of breast cancer patients,and this subtype has the clinical characteristics of strong invasiveness,rapid progression,poor prognosis,low quality of survival and low survival rate,etc.Although the introduction of trastuzumab,a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting HER2,has changed its treatment landscape,it has also inevitably emerged.Antibody drug conjugate (ADC),as a new type of potential antitumor drug,utilizes monoclonal antibodies targeting tumor antigens to selectively deliver cytotoxic drugs to cancer cells,combining the selectivity of monoclonal antibodies with the cell-killing properties of payloads,which has the advantages of strong selectivity,high efficiency and low toxicity.At the same time,studies have shown that some ADCs have advantages in anti-HER2 targeted therapy resistance,therefore,in recent years,there has been significant progress in the targeted therapy of HER2-positive breast cancer,and this article focuses on the progress of the clinical application and the latest research of ADCs targeting HER2-positive breast cancer.
