      [Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC10527017

      Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Functional, Predictive, Prognostic

      Justification: Oncogenic: The HER2V777L and PIK3CAH1047R mutations are described as activating mutations that promote tumor formation and aggressive cancer characteristics, indicating their role in oncogenesis. Functional: The study demonstrates that the combination of HER2V777L and PIK3CAH1047R mutations enhances cellular migration and invasion, which are functional properties associated with metastatic cancer. Predictive: The findings suggest that the presence of HER2V777L and PIK3CAH1047R mutations can predict the effectiveness of specific drug combinations, such as neratinib plus trastuzumab deruxtecan, in treating breast cancer. Prognostic: The study indicates that the co-occurrence of HER2 and PIK3CA mutations is associated with accelerated tumor growth and metastasis, which can serve as a prognostic indicator for disease progression in breast cancer patients.
