Abstract
In recent years, targeted therapy for breast cancer has received increasingly more attention. In addition to hormone receptors and human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2), the immunohistochemical detection of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) in advanced triple-negative breast cancer and the detection of mutations in the breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) or BRCA2 gene in the patient's germline and mutations in the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) pathway are currently relevant when making decisions regarding targeted therapy.
期刊介绍:
Das Journal für Gynäkologische Endokrinologie veröffentlicht Originalarbeiten, Übersichten, Fallberichte, Kurzberichte sowie Kommentare aus allen Bereichen, die Assistierte Reproduktion, Kontrazeption und Menopause betreffen. Experimentelle Untersuchungen sollten einen direkten klinischen Bezug aufweisen. Das Journal versteht sich als praxisorientiertes Fortbildungsmagazin und möchte Aktualität und Wissen vermitteln. Namhafte Expert*innen kommen zu Wort und beleuchten Schwerpunkte des Praxisalltags. Dadurch soll die Einbindung neuester Erkenntnisse in die tägliche Routinearbeit erleichtert werden.
