RESUMEN
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) serves as both a prognostic indicator and a therapeutic target for breast cancer. Therefore, anti-HER2 therapy plays a crucial role in the treatment of HER2-positive cancer. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are composed of a monoclonal antibody, a chemical linker and a payload, wherein their aim is to reduce the toxicity associated with chemotherapy drugs by utilizing specific antibodies. Among the anti-HER2 ADCs currently approved for clinical use, trastuzumab emtansine(T-DM1) and trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-Dxd) have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in treating HER2-positive breast cancer. However, it is essential to emphasize the occurrence of lung toxicity during the treatment process, which can be life-threatening. In this review, we provide an overview of the new epidemiological features associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD) related to anti-HER2 ADCs in breast cancer. We also summarize the potential pathogenesis and explore the diagnosis and treatment strategies within this field.
