HER2-Targeted Antibody-Drug Conjugate Toxicities in Breast Cancer.
Review in Cancer medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have dramatically advanced breast cancer outcomes. Two HER2-targeted ADCs, trastuzumab deruxtecan and trastuzumab emtansine, are currently approved for use in breast cancer, with > 60 other candidates under ongoing investigation.
methodsIn this report, we provide a narrative review of existing data underlying the current understanding of HER2-targeted ADC toxicities in breast cancer, highlighting both common and serious adverse events.
resultsWhen used as an adjuvant or neoadjuvant, first- or second-line agent, alone or in combination with another agent, trastuzumab emtansine has been commonly associated with epistaxis, fatigue, headache, nausea, and pyrexia across several clinical trials. Comparatively, trastuzumab deruxtecan has been commonly associated with alopecia, cytopenias, decreased appetite, fatigue, and gastrointestinal adverse effects.
conclusionDespite the demonstrated clinical benefits in breast cancer, diverse systemic and organ-specific adverse events, including dose-limiting toxicities, have been reported even at suboptimal therapeutic doses and pose significant barriers to pursuing dose escalations for maximizing therapeutic efficacy.
