The use of antibody-drug conjugates is expected to transform the management of human malignancy. Antibody-drug conjugates for cancer treatment are designed to deliver anticancer drugs to tumor cells. The main components of such conjugates are a monoclonal antibody that binds to a tumor antigen, an anticancer drug to inhibit tumor cell growth and a linker that serves to conjugate the antibody and drug. The antibody-drug conjugates developed and approved for breast cancer treatment are ado-trastuzumab emtansine, (fam)-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki and sacituzumab govitecan. The mechanisms of action, clinical uses and toxic effects of these antibody-drug conjugates are discussed.

D018719 Receptor, ErbB-2 A cell surface protein-tyrosine kinase receptor that is overexpressed in a variety of ADENOCARCINOMAS. It has extensive homology to and heterodimerizes with the EGF RECEPTOR, the ERBB-3 RECEPTOR, and the ERBB-4 RECEPTOR. Activation of the erbB-2 receptor occurs through heterodimer formation with a ligand-bound erbB receptor family member.

D018796 Immunoconjugates Combinations of diagnostic or therapeutic substances linked with specific immune substances such as IMMUNOGLOBULINS; MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES; or ANTIGENS. Often the diagnostic or therapeutic substance is a radionuclide. These conjugates are useful tools for specific targeting of DRUGS and RADIOISOTOPES in the CHEMOTHERAPY and RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY of certain cancers.
