Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Based On Dose-Dense Epirubicin (E) Plus Cyclophosphamide (C) Followed By Docetaxel (D) Plus Trastuzumab (T), Dt Plus Carboplatin (Cbdca), Or Dt Plus Her2 Double Blockade In Her2-Positive Breast Cancer Patients.

e11617 Background: Amplification of the HER-2 gene occurs in 20% of breast cancer (BC) patients (pts). Trastuzumab administered concurrently with chemotherapy (CT) is the standard of care in the neoadjuvant setting. Moreover, the use of a combination of antiHER2 therapies with CT are related to an increased pCR, which could be a surrogate marker for survival. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed three historic cohorts with overexpressing HER2 BC. They received neoadjuvant CT based on dose dense anthracyclines followed by three schedules of antiHER2 therapy: 1) docetaxel plus trastuzumab (DT; n = 33 pts); 2) DT plus CBDCA (DTP; n = 17 pts); and 3) DT plus double blockade with triweekly pertuzumab or daily L (750mg/day; n = 12) (DTD; n = 14) before surgery. Study endpoints were safety, pCR (breast + axilla) based on Milleru0026Payne criteria and DFS. Results: Sixty-four pts with HER2 overexpressing BC were studied since 2005. Baseline characteristics were well balanced. The median age was 48 (range 23-80). Coex...
