TLDR
New treatments in the past decade have clearly improved the prognosis of HER2-positive breast cancer, however, the persisting high toll of deaths resulting from Her2- positive breast cancer calls for continued, intensive clinical research of newer therapies and combinations.

Prognostic and predictive biomarkers in breast cancer: Past, present and future

TL;DR: Current research is focusing on tumor and circulating DNA and RNA and mutational status of ER (ESR1) for predicting the emergence of resistance to aromatase inhibitors and circulating tumor cells.

Fibroblast growth factor receptors as treatment targets in clinical oncology

TL;DR: The clinical experience with FGFR inhibitors to date is described, and key aspects that might lead to improved response rates and/or the avoidance of acquired resistance are highlighted, including the selection of patients who are most likely to benefit from treatment, and the use ofFGFR inhibitors in combination regimens with other agents.

Breast Cancer Molecular Stratification: From Intrinsic Subtypes to Integrative Clusters

TL;DR: This stratification of breast cancers into integrative clusters reveals prototypical patterns of single-nucleotide variants and is associated with distinct clinical courses and response to therapy.

The MAPK and AMPK signalings: interplay and implication in targeted cancer therapy.

TL;DR: How MAPK-AMPK signalings interplay with each other in cancer biology is summarized, its implications in clinic cancer treatment with MAPK inhibition and AMPK modulators are discussed, and the exploitation of combinatory therapies targeting both MAPK and AM PK as a novel therapeutic intervention is discussed.

Human breast cancer: correlation of relapse and survival with amplification of the HER-2/neu oncogene

TL;DR: Amplification of the HER-2/neu gene was a significant predictor of both overall survival and time to relapse in patients with breast cancer, and had greater prognostic value than most currently used prognostic factors in lymph node-positive disease.

Use of Chemotherapy plus a Monoclonal Antibody against HER2 for Metastatic Breast Cancer That Overexpresses HER2

TL;DR: The addition of trastuzumab to chemotherapy was associated with a longer time to disease progression, a higher rate of objective response, a longer duration of response, and a lower rate of death at 1 year.
