Purpose Of Review:
To provide an overview of the current management of hormone receptor-positive (HR +) advanced breast cancer as well as highlight ongoing clinical investigation and novel therapies in development.
Recent Findings:
CDK4/6 inhibition plus endocrine therapy is standard front-line therapy for HR + advanced breast cancer. Continuation of CDK4/6 inhibitors in combination with alternative endocrine therapy has been evaluated in the second-line setting. Alternatively, endocrine therapy in combination with PI3K/AKT pathway targeting agents has been studied, particularly in patients with PI3K pathway alterations. The oral SERD elacestrant has also been evaluated in patients with ESR1 mutation. Many novel endocrine agents and targeted agents are in development. An improved understanding of combination therapies and sequencing of therapies is needed to optimize the treatment paradigm. Biomarker development is needed to guide treatment decisions. Advances in the treatment of HR + breast cancer have resulted in improved patient outcomes in recent years. Continued development efforts with identification of biomarkers to better understand response and resistance to therapy are needed.
