Abstract

In 180 patients with metastatic breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), HER3 expression was found in >70% of brain metastases (BM). HER3-targeting antibody-drug conjugates have demonstrated efficacy in HER3-expressing metastatic breast cancer and NSCLC. Thus, HER3 expression by IHC may be a biomarker for development of HER3-targeting BM-specific therapeutics. See related article by Tomasich et al., p. 3225.
