摘要

Purpose

CDK4/6 inhibitors in combination with endocrine therapy are the standard of care for ER+/HER2 advanced breast cancer patients with good tolerability and durable control. The question of therapeutic de-escalation is a common one with no simple answer.

Methods

A clinical case was used to discuss the arguments in favour of therapeutic de-escalation.

Results

A 76-year-old woman was diagnosed with ER+ de novo MBC with liver metastases. She was treated with a combination of palbociclib and letrozole and had a complete metabolic response after 3 years of treatment with a good tolerability. After a synthesis of the data from the literature and in agreement with the patient, we decided to maintain the same systemic treatment without de-escalation.

Conclusion

Therapeutic de-escalation can be considered in the case of complete and durable remission with less aggressive disease.
