Identifying the potential for tamoxifen resistance in patients
June 11, 2020
By American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB)
Tamoxifen is a widely used and highly successful drug in the treatment of breast cancer, though resistance to tamoxifen is still a concern in recurrent disease (affecting 25-35% of patients), since therapy resistant metastatic tumour cells are a major cause of death. In a study in this month's Molecular and Cellular Proteomics, researchers have uncovered a protein profile that may accurately predict whether a cancer will be tamoxifen resistant.

Small molecule inhibitor shows promise in trastuzumab-resistant metastatic breast cancer
June 1, 2020
By Frank Hoke, Fox Chase Cancer Center
ORLANDO —Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers report that a combination of trastuzumab and neratinib (HKI-272) a novel small molecule inhibitor of the HER2 receptor (ErbB2) appears active in women with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer who have progressed on previous trastuzumab based therapies. More than one-quarter of the women in a phase I/II trial had their tumors shrink on the combination therapy.
