AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies are insufficient to effectively treat triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and breast cancer with PIK3CA gene mutations, especially due to the inefficiency and side effects of existing treatments. Improved compositions and methods are needed to reduce side effects and improve treatment outcomes.
Combination therapy using MetAP2 inhibitors with drugs such as eribulin, fulvestrant, apelips, or enoxaparin, administered through different routes and at different times, works synergistically to treat cancer and alleviate treatment-induced hyperglycemia.
It significantly inhibits tumor growth, improves patient survival rates, reduces the side effects of treatment-induced hyperglycemia, and provides a more effective cancer treatment option.
