Abstract
Trastuzumab or lapatinib treatment with chemotherapy or hormonotherapy are the gold standard treatments for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer (early breast cancer or metastatic breast cancer). Older patients have been largely underrepresented in clinical trials, and few data on trastuzumab or lapatinib efficacy and toxicity have been reported for this subgroup. This article has reviewed the main articles that have analyzed these items.

Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes and aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. Resynthesis of telomeres supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no any telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergone telomerase ...read more
Role of natural compounds as anti anti-cancer agents
Cancer is considered the leading cause of worldwide mortality, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2022. Cancer outcome can be improved through an appropriate screening and early detection and through an efficient clinical treatment. Chemotherapy remains an important approach in treatment o f several types of cancers, even though ...read more
