Abstract
HER2 is overexpressed and/or amplified in approximately 20% of breast cancers. It is a clinically aggressive subtype; however, the introduction of targeted therapies has greatly improved survival rates. At JADPRO Live 2022, presenters discussed recent updates to clinical practice for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, and how to interpret emerging evidence on HER2-low data. They also highlighted best practices for monitoring and managing side effects for patients on these therapies.
