SABCS 2022 | The role of SERDs in the treatment landscape of patients with ER+/HER2- breast cancer

Virginia Kaklamani, MD, UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX, talks on the predictive value of treatment response and residual disease after neoadjuvant therapy in ER-positive, HER2-positive, and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). In TNBC, the use of immunotherapy has allowed a higher number of patients to achieve a pathologic complete response (pCR). Results from the Phase III KATHERINE (NCT01772472) trial suggested that the use of trastuzumab emtansine is beneficial for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer who do not achieve a pCR. Currently, there is no post-treatment standard-of-care treatment options for patients who do not respond to endocrine therapy, however, new data is suggesting other targeted treatments could be given in the post-neoadjuvant setting to improve patients outcomes. This interview took place at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) 2022 in San Antonio, TX.
