HER2-Targeted ADCs in Advanced NSCLC: A Case-Based Approach to Targeted Treatment for Metastatic Disease
Host: Justin Gainor, MD
Host: Jacob Sands, MD
The treatment landscape of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has dramatically changed over the past 20 years. In recent years, the discovery of targetable molecular alterations and the development of targeted therapies have dramatically changed the treatment outlook for NSCLC. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), also known as ErbB2, is a receptor tyrosine kinase encoded by the ERBB2 proto-oncogene. Its activation affects downstream signaling pathways implicated in cell proliferation, survival, differentiation, and migration. The inclusion of HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapy in lung cancer is relatively new; these agents have been shown to greatly improve outcomes in patients with HER2-expressing NSCLC. In this case-based activity, expert faculty illustrate best practices for the use of HER2-directed ADCs in NSCLC.
