Abstract:
In hormone receptor-positive locally advanced breast cancer, endocrine therapy becomes an integral part of the therapeutic strategy. There are now significant numbers of available hormonal directed compounds, including selective aromatase and mTOR inhibitors, which allow an important therapeutic advance in these patients. Sequential F-FDG PET/CT studies provided essential information regarding response to different treatments, including targeted therapies, and adverse therapeutic effects that helped to better define the right moment to implement each therapeutic approach.
