Early-Stage HER2+ Breast Cancer Treatment

Carey K. Anders, MD, spoke about updated findings in the HER2-positive breast cancer space, based on data from 2023 SABCS.

Tucatinib plus trastuzumab emtansine shows a progression-free survival improvement in HER2-positive breast cancer in the phase 3 HER2CLIMB-02 trial, says Sara A. Hurvitz, MD, FACP.

A Satellite Session, involving members from US Oncology, focused on treatment options for patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.

As part of our coverage for the 30th Annual Miami Breast Cancer Conference, we bring you an interview with Dr. Mark Pegram, director of the breast cancer program at the Stanford Women’s Cancer Center and codirector of the molecular therapeutics program. Dr. Pegram will be discussing the potential for novel HER2 combination therapies at the conference.

Combining tucatinib with ado-trastuzumab emtansine does not appear to result in any new safety signals in the treatment of those with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer.

Findings from the phase 3 DESTINY-Breast04 trial supported the approval of fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki for HER2-low breast cancer in China.
