Abstract

          Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers and the leading cause of death in women worldwide. Breast cancer is caused by atypical mitoses in breast. Epithelial tissue that develop from duct cells and lobule cells is also the most common site for the development of cancers. According to etiology, breast cancers have been classified into  four subtypes including of HR-positive, HER2- positive, both HR and HER2 Positive and Triple-negative.

          Trastuzumab Deruxtecan is a monoclonal antibody-drug conjugate that is topoisomerase I inhibitor. It was more effective than chemotherapy in terms of survival and progression-free survival. However, there is a greater chance of adverse reactions than with chemotherapy. It is also toxic to the embryo and fetus. It is a contraindication for pregnancy.
