pCR Rates and Predictors With THP in HER2-Positive Breast Cancer: EA1181/CompassHER2 pCR

Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO) Podcast

Show Notes

What pCR rates can be achieved with neoadjuvant THP, and which patients are most likely to respond? Host Dr. Davide Soldato interviews Dr. Nadine Tung on her article, "Pathologic Complete Response (pCR) Rate and Predictors of Response to Taxane, Trastuzumab, and Pertuzumab in HER2-Positive Breast Cancer: Secondary Analyses of EA1181/CompassHER2 pCR." They examine differences in pCR by estrogen receptor status and the clinicopathologic and HER2DX features associated with response, while considering how these findings may inform treatment personalization as the trial's 3-year recurrence-free survival data mature.
