Case Presentation: A 42-year-old woman with Grade III ER/PR-positive, HER2-positive breast cancer Dr Alan Astrow 2.1 cm Grade 3 IDC ER/PR+/HER2+ disease with Ki67 = 90% Poor tolerance to neoadjuvant TCHP x 2 cycles Carboplatin discontinued and patient received additional 4 cycles of THP Patient attained a pathologic CR with surgery Questions Do the faculty think I should complete one year of trastuzumab alone or should I administer trastuzumab plus pertuzumab? Does the patient require a whole year of therapy since she achieved a path CR? Would you consider neratinib for this patient as it may interfere with her ability to work? What is your experience with the degree of benefit and tolerability of neratinib?
Case Presentation: A 73-year-old woman with Grade III ER/PR-negative, HER2-positive breast cancer Pulmonary fibrosis and residual disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy Dr Alan Astrow Biopsy proven Grade 3 IDC ER-/PR-/HER2+ disease Neoadjuvant TCHP x 5 Patient exhibited shortness of breath Chest CT revealed new pulmonary fibrosis Breast exam normal but breast MRI shows residual cancer Patient underwent bilateral mastectomies: Left breast 1.7 cm Grade 2 IDC, sentinel nodes negative, ER+/PR-/HER2-; Right breast 0.3 cm invasive lobular, ER+/PR+/HER2- Patient still exhibits mild dyspnea on exertion Question How would the faculty approach this situation?
