The article presents a clinical case of a 53-year-old patient admitted to the hospital with a suspected testicular tumor. Preliminary diagnosis: congenital anomaly. Adenomatoid tumor of the undescended right testicle (inguinal cryptorchidism on the right). Polyorchism. Abdominal cryptorchidism of the accessory right testicle. Irreducible indirect inguinal hernia on the right. Alpha fetoprotein, HCG, LDH indices are normal, no metastases were found. Orchofuniculectomy on the right, herniotomy, local tissue rearrangement were performed. The accessory testis was classified as Type A1 by Bergholz R.
Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women. HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer is a molecular subtype characterized by an aggressive course, a tendency for tumor cells to spread rapidly, and resistance to standard cytostatic regimens. A number of large randomized trials have shown that the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy provides the same overall survival rates as adjuvant regimens. In addition, the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy makes it possible to achieve therapeutic pathomorphosis. The discovery of new chemotherapeutic drugs has made it possible to use a dual blockade of HER2 receptors due to interaction with different subdomains of this protein. In particular, chemotherapy using Trastuzumab, Pertuzumab, and Docetaxel has proven to be an effective regimen to achieve high rates of therapeutic pathomorphosis and survival. The paper analyzes the mechanism of action and effectiveness of the combined use of Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab, presents two clinical cases of practical treatment using dual targeted blockade.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
