HER3 overexpression in solid tumors is tied to poor prognosis, concretely in breast and non-small-cell lung cancers, where treatment resistance often occurs upon using targeted therapy, highlighting the need for novel targeted therapies against HER3. Since its expression is much higher in tumor than normal cells, HER3 is a robust candidate for antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapy.
“I think we’ve come a long way in understanding the importance of this biology. We know it affects men and women, children and adults,” Paul Mischel told the audience during his plenary talk at the 2025 Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR 2025). “It’s very prevalent, it’s very devastating. It creates resistance. And we’ve learned some very fundamental rules about this biology that are driving it.”
The first 100 days of the Trump administration have been nothing short of chaotic, both in the U.S. and throughout the world. Shining a light through the uncertainty, BioWorld continues to cover the administration’s latest policy decisions and actions affecting the life sciences sector, as well as their impacts across the globe. It’s all right here at Trump administration impacts.
