Abstract
Systemic therapy for advanced, hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-unamplified (HER2-) breast cancer has drastically evolved over the past several decades, from oophorectomy to combination endocrine and molecularly targeted therapy. Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors are the latest addition to this arsenal of therapies, and while they have been rapidly adopted by most oncologists, many still question whether they belong in the first-line metastatic setting. Recent reporting of overall survival data, however, has re-invigorated the debate and strongly supports first-line use of CDK 4/6 inhibitors. This article will provide an overview of the evolution of systemic therapy in HR+, HER2breast cancer, summarize the data that led to the approval of CDK 4/6 inhibitors, detail the new overall survival data reported in the PALOMA-3, MONALEESA-7, MONALEESA-3, and MONARCH-2 trials, and then discuss why our patients should receive these drugs in the first-line setting for advanced disease.
期刊介绍:
The Oral History Review, published by the Oral History Association, is the U.S. journal of record for the theory and practice of oral history and related fields. The journal’s primary mission is to explore the nature and significance of oral history and advance understanding of the field among scholars, educators, practitioners, and the general public. The Review publishes narrative and analytical articles and reviews, in print and multimedia formats, that present and use oral history in unique and significant ways and that contribute to the understanding of the nature of oral history and memory. It seeks previously unpublished works that demonstrate high-quality research and that offer new insight into oral history practice, methodology, theory, and pedagogy. Work published in the journal arises from many fields and disciplines, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of oral history. While based in the U.S., the Review reflects the international scope of the field and encourages work from international authors and about international topics.
