| Resumo: | In the last couple of decades substantial therapeutic improvements deeply influenced the treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. The most impactful advancements were obtained especially in the first-line setting, with the trastuzumab/pertuzumab anti-HER2 double blockade, and in the second line, with the advent of the potent antibody-drug conjugate trastuzumab deruxtecan. Nevertheless, a careful observation of the patterns of early-progression and long-term effects on overall survival of the most novel agents and combinations, highlights the challenges represented by the emergence of therapeutic resistance and optimal drug sequencing. The integration of sequence studies, tumor-related biomarker development/implementation and understanding of primary mechanisms of resistance to novel anti-HER2 agents, will be the way to move forward to effectively tackle these novel unmet needs. |
