Optimizing HER2-Positive Disease Management: Neoadjuvant, Adjuvant, and Maintenance Advances

Panelists discuss how emerging neoadjuvant and adjuvant data in HER2-positive breast cancer are challenging traditional standards and supporting earlier use of highly effective agents.

Dr. Gradishar and the panel discuss significant advancements in HER2-positive breast cancer, focusing on Destiny-Breast05/11 trials investigating trastuzumab deruxtecan (TDXd) in neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings. They tackle ongoing debates regarding optimal timing for TDXd administration, nuances for patients with residual disease post-neoadjuvant therapy, and challenge traditional standards with new data showing improved invasive disease-free survival. The session addresses how earlier exposure to TDXd may inform later metastatic therapy options, the use of maintenance strategies, and the evolving role of endocrine therapy in HER2-positive patients.
