Abstract
El cáncer de mama es el segundo tipo de cáncer más diagnosticado en el mundo, y la principal causa de muerte por cáncer en mujeres. Es una enfermedad muy heterogénea que se subclasifica, entre otros criterios, atendiendo a la expresión de marcadores moleculares. Esta subclasificación distingue una entidad clínica caracterizada por la sobreexpresión del receptor con actividad tirosina quinasa HER2, que supone el 15-20 % de todos los tumores de mama. A pesar de que el pronóstico de estas pacientes ha mejorado drásticamente en los últimos años gracias a la incorporación a la clínica de terapias anti-HER2, un porcentaje significativo de ellas presenta resistencia innata o adquirida a este tratamiento. Es por ello vital encontrar nuevas estrategias terapéuticas para el tratamiento de esta enfermedad, así como biomarcadores que ayuden a predecir la respuesta de cada paciente a las terapias estándar...
Breast cancer is the second most diagnosed type of cancer in the world and the leading cause of cancer death in women. It’s a highly heterogeneous disease that is sub-classified, amongo ther criteria, based on the expression of molecular markers. This sub-classification distinguishes a clinical entity characterized by the overexpression of the HER2 receptor tyrosine kinase, which accounts for 15-20% of all breast tumors. Although the prognosis of these patients has drastically improved in recent years due to the incorporation of anti-HER2 therapies into clinical practice, a significant percentage of them present innate or acquired resistance to this treatment. Therefore, it’s crucial to find new therapeutic targets as well as new biomarkers with predictive value...
