A panel of experts discusses factors to consider when selecting treatment for patients with HER2+ mBC including brain metastases, quality of life, and treatment resistance.

Focusing discussion on the first clinical scenario, panelists examine currently available first- and second-line treatment approaches for HER2+ mBC.

Rita Nanda, MD, leads a discussion of the first clinical scenario, a 41-year-old woman with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer who progressed on docetaxel/trastuzumab/pertuzumab.

To begin the program, an expert panel of leaders in the management of HER2+ metastatic breast cancer provides an overview of the disease landscape.

Third, how much do we really know about de novo and acquired resistance to trastuzumab and lapatinib? There are several possible clinical relevant mechanisms of trastuzumab resistance, including crosstalk with other receptors, amplification of the PI3K/AKT pathway, alteration of the trastuzumab binding domain, and loss of HER2 expression.
