Dana-Farber breast cancer researchers performed genomic testing, yielding findings may help personalize treatment in the future.

Latest Advances in Breast Cancer

Check out these promising breast cancer studies.

Some cancer drugs target tumors that overexpress HER2 proteins.

Tukysa and Herceptin Combo OK’d for HER2-Positive Colorectal Cancer

This treatment represents a “fairly substantial breakthrough” for patients with HER2-positive advanced colorectal cancer.

Trodelvy for Metastatic Breast Cancer

Patients treated with Trodelvy had a 21% reduction in the risk for death.

Enhertu Improves Survival for Women with HER2-Positive Breast Cancer

Research also showed that treatment before surgery benefits patients with HER2-low breast cancer.

HER2-Low Breast Cancer

The results could also be relevant for people with other types of HER2-low cancer.

Enhertu Works for HER2-Low Metastatic Breast Cancer Too

The antibody-drug conjugate improved progression-free and overall survival for patients with low HER2 expression on breast tumors.

New Findings About Breast Cancers With Low Levels of HER2 Protein

Researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute show that “HER2-low” tumors are not a distinct subtype of breast cancer.

Using Big Data to Better Understand Cancerous Mutations

Artificial intelligence and machine learning can help identify genetic changes that lead to cancer—and which treatments work best.

New Biomarker Classification May Improve Treatment of High-Risk Breast Cancer

The new cancer subtypes help better characterize a person’s tumor. The goal is to get the right drug to the right patient.
