    1. Somatic Mutations in HER2 and Implications for Current Treatment Paradigms in HER2-Positive Breast Cancer

      [Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC7081042

      Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Predictive, Prognostic

      Justification: Oncogenic: The text indicates that mutations in the HER2 gene, such as S310F, S310Y, R678Q, D769H, and I767M, are associated with favorable outcomes and good responses to anti-HER2 therapy, suggesting their role in cancer progression. Predictive: The mention of specific HER2 mutations (e.g., L755S, D769Y) influencing the efficacy of treatments like neratinib and afatinib indicates their potential as predictive biomarkers for treatment response in HER2-positive breast cancer patients. Prognostic: The text discusses the association of HER2 overexpression with an aggressive phenotype and lower survival rates, indicating that certain mutations may have prognostic implications for patient outcomes.

    2. In one of every four or five cases of breast cancer, the human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) gene is overexpressed. These carcinomas are known as HER2-positive. HER2 overexpression is linked to an aggressive

      [Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC7081042 Section: ABSTRACT PassageIndex: 1

      Evidence Type(s): Predictive, Diagnostic, Oncogenic

      Justification: Predictive: The passage discusses how certain HER2 mutations, such as S310F, S310Y, R678Q, D769H, and I767M, correlate with favorable outcomes and good responses to anti-HER2 therapy, indicating their predictive value for treatment efficacy. Diagnostic: The passage mentions the identification of HER2 SNPs in HER2-positive breast cancer patients and their relationship with clinical outcomes, suggesting that these variants can be used to classify or define the disease subtype. Oncogenic: The passage indicates that somatic mutations in HER2 are linked to resistance to anti-HER2 therapy, suggesting that these mutations contribute to tumor development or progression.
