Mechanisms of reduced efficacy of HER2-targeted therapy in HER2-low breast cancer by long-term nicotine exposure in patient-derived xenograft mouse tumor models

The effects of long-term nicotine exposure on the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer have only been studied epidemiologically, leaving the molecular mechanisms unclear. Therefore, it's challenging for clinicians to devise effective treatments based on this correlation. Our investigation e...
