Primary analysis of KAITLIN: A phase III study of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) + pertuzumab versus trastuzumab + pertuzumab + taxane, after anthracyclines as adjuvant therapy for high-risk HER2-positive early breast cancer (EBC).

TLDR
The standard of care for HER2-positive EBC is chemotherapy plus one year of Her2-directed therapy, and recurrence—particularly in high-risk populations—remains a problem, as doe...

Early HER2-Positive Breast Cancer: Current Treatment and Novel Approaches.

TL;DR: Neoadjuvant therapy should be offered for a significant proportion of HER2-positive early breast cancer patients with a higher risk of recurrence, and postneoadjuant treatment should be tailored according to the initial stage of disease and the response to neoadjuants treatment.
