Abstract
The use of CDK4/6 inhibitors in combination with endocrine therapy (aromatase inhibitors and fulvestrant) allowed us to radically change our understanding of opportunities in the treatment of hormone-positive HER2-negative advanced breast cancer and determine optimal therapy sequencing. The results of randomized clinical trials and over 5-years accumulated international experience in the use of CDK4/6 inhibitors in real clinical practice prove that the use of combinations with CDK4/6 inhibitors can achieve significant efficacy results and increase the survival rates when prescribed in 1 and 2 lines of treatment.
In this paper, we present the results of a survey conducted in July–October 2019 among 48 oncologists in Moscow, that were asked to choose, in their opinion, the most preferable patient’s profile and molecular and biological features of hormone-positive HER2-negative advanced breast cancer, in which the use of combination therapy with CDK4/6 inhibitors will provide the greatest benefit.
