2 Chemotherapy vs EndocrineTherapy Methods Randomized trials of chemotherapy alone vs endocrine therapy alone Results 8 trials identified (N = 817) No significant difference for OS HR:.94 (95% CI: ; P =.5) Significant difference favoring chemotherapy for ORR OR: 1.25 (95% CI: ; P =.4) However the 2 largest trials demonstrated trends in opposite directions Toxicity: little information available on adverse events and QOL Increased toxicity with chemotherapy (nausea, vomiting and alopecia) 3 of 7 trials noted QOL aspects, with differing results Authors conclusions In women with metastatic breast cancer and where hormone receptors are present, a policy of treating first with endocrine therapy rather than chemotherapy is recommended except in the presence of rapidly progressive disease Wilcken N, et al. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 23:CD2747.

16 Qual è la sequenza ottimale di trattamento? Prima linea: AI o fulvestrant ; fulvestrant + AI proponibile in pazienti therapy naïve -quale intervallo dalla terapia adiuvante? -associazione o sequenza programmata? Proseguire la terapia endocrina fino alla comparsa di resistenza

17 Qual è la sequenza ottimale di trattamento? Seconda linea: everolimus + exemestane a progressione da AI non steroideo (se non mts viscerali sintomatiche) Dopo everolimus: monoterapia ormonale o blocco del pathway di PI3K L associazione dell inibitore delle CDK4/6 palbociclib con letrozole in prima linea appare molto promettente; sono in corso studi di fase III
