HER2 Testing Polling Question A 48-year-old female presents with a T2, N1 (1+), M0 infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the right breast The malignancy is ER+, PR-, and HER2 2+ FISH testing is performed and the ratio is 1.9
What is the Next Best Course of Action? 1. Repeat FISH testing using another specimen and / or perform IHC test on same specimen 2. Treat patient with chemotherapy + trastuzumab 3. Treat patient with chemotherapy without trastuzumab

Patient Case First-Line MBC Therapy A 53-year-old female presents with inflammatory breast cancer. Her breast biopsy reveals a poorly differentiated infiltrating ductal breast cancer The tumor is ER(-), PR(-), HER2 amplified (ratio 4.3) Metastatic workup reveals small volume metastases to both the lung and liver Labs reveal only minimal elevation of alkaline phosphatase
What Systemic Therapy Will You Initiate for Her Stage IV Breast Cancer? 1. Weekly paclitaxel 2. Weekly paclitaxel + trastuzumab 3. Weekly paclitaxel + trastuzumab + pertuzumab 4. Docetaxel + trastuzumab + pertuzumab 5. TCHP: docetaxel + carboplatin + trastuzumab + pertuzumab
Patient Case Progressive MBC 44-year-old female with metastatic HER2- positive breast cancer Diagnosed 12 months ago with breast cancer metastatic to the liver Liver biopsy demonstrated adenocarcinoma, ER / PR-negative, HER2-positive Treated with pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and docetaxel with initial partial response Progressive disease in liver after 12 months Performance status 0
How Would You Treat This Patient? 1. Trastuzumab-DM1 2. Lapatinib + capecitabine 3. Lapatinib + trastuzumab 4. Trastuzumab + vinorelbine 5. Trastuzumab / vinorelbine + everolimus

Clinical Implications Combined HER2 targeting with 2 different mechanisms of action improves pcr The combination of monoclonal antibodies targeting HER2 without chemotherapy results in substantial pcr rate We need to explore this group to determine which patients may not need chemotherapy Will the increase in pcr translate into improvements in efficacy?
Opportunities for Novel Agents of the Next Decade Learning how to optimize anti-her2 therapy in all stages of breast cancer Continued HER2 therapy benefits HER2-positive patients post-disease progression but which agents and which combinations will provide the most efficacy and least toxicity? Will it be possible to treat patients with individualized targeted regimens alone and omit cytotoxic therapy?
Program Agenda Demographics and Background Principles of HER2 Testing Metastatic and Progressive HER2+ Breast Cancer Early Stage HER2+ Breast Cancer Educational Outcomes Post-Assessment Question and Answer
HER2 Testing Polling Question A 48-year-old female presents with a T2, N1 (1+), M0 infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the right breast The malignancy is ER+, PR-, and HER2 2+ FISH testing is performed and the ratio is 1.9
What Do You Now Believe is the Next Best Course of Action? 1. Repeat FISH testing using another specimen and / or perform IHC test on same specimen 2. Treat patient with chemotherapy + trastuzumab 3. Treat patient with chemotherapy without trastuzumab
Patient Case First-Line MBC Therapy A 53-year-old female presents with inflammatory breast cancer. Her breast biopsy reveals a poorly differentiated infiltrating ductal breast cancer The tumor is ER(-), PR(-), HER2 amplified (ratio 4.3) Metastatic workup reveals small volume metastases to both the lung and liver Labs reveal only minimal elevation of alkaline phosphatase
What Systemic Therapy Will You Now Initiate for Her Stage IV Breast Cancer? 1. Weekly paclitaxel 2. Weekly paclitaxel + trastuzumab 3. Weekly paclitaxel + trastuzumab + pertuzumab 4. Docetaxel + trastuzumab + pertuzumab 5. TCHP: docetaxel + carboplatin + trastuzumab + pertuzumab
Patient Case Progressive MBC 44-year-old female with metastatic HER2- positive breast cancer Diagnosed 12 months ago with breast cancer metastatic to the liver Liver biopsy demonstrated adenocarcinoma, ER / PR-negative, HER2-positive Treated with pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and docetaxel with initial partial response Progressive disease in liver after 12 months Performance status 0
After Participating in This Education Program, How Would You Treat This Patient? 1. Trastuzumab-DM1 2. Lapatinib + capecitabine 3. Lapatinib + trastuzumab 4. Trastuzumab + vinorelbine 5. Trastuzumab / vinorelbine + everolimus
Patient Case Frontline Therapy A 42-year-old female presents with new right breast mass Examination demonstrates a 3 cm mass in the right breast with a palpable right axillary lymph node Mammogram: suspicious mass right breast Ultrasound: 2.8 cm mass right breast with suspicious right axillary node
Patient Case Continued Biopsy: IDC, ER-35%, PR-negative, HER2 3+, Ki67 82% Lymph node aspirate: positive for malignant cells Systemic staging demonstrates 4 cm right breast mass, right axillary nodes, but no distant disease
How Would You Approach This Patient Now? 1. Pertuzumab + trastuzumab + docetaxel x 4 cycles pre-operatively with FEC x 3 cycles post-operatively 2. Pertuzumab, trastuzumab, carboplatin, and docetaxel for 6 cycles pre-operatively 3. Surgery followed by adjuvant trastuzumab-based chemotherapy
