Cancer

• Educational Outcomes Post-Assessment
• Question and Answer
Breast Cancer: Background
• Leading cause of cancer for women
– 2014 estimated new cases of invasive breast
cancer is about 230,000
• Second leading cause of cancer death in women
– Estimated 40,000 deaths in 2014
• Biology is main driver of treatment
• Goal is to provide a more tailored individualized
approach by targeting dysregulated pathways
HER Family of Receptors as Targets
• Trastuzumab added to chemotherapy:
– Standard of care for HER2-positive breast cancer
– In MBC, improvements in TTP,
ORR, PFS, and OS
– Adjuvant trials demonstrated significant
reductions in the risk of
recurrence, of a magnitude seldom
observed in oncology trials
– Archetype for targeted therapy development in breast cancer

HER2-Positive Breast Cancer
Unanswered Questions
• Optimal use in the early disease setting?
• What about dual HER blockade?
• What do we do at progression?
• Are novel agents and combinations
better?

Cancer
• Early Stage HER2+ Breast Cancer
• Educational Outcomes Post-Assessment
• Question and Answer
HER2 Testing Polling Question
• A 48-year-old female presents with a T2,
N1 (1+), M0 infiltrating ductal carcinoma of
the right breast
• The malignancy is ER+, PR-, and HER2
2+
• FISH testing is performed and the ratio is
1.9
What is the Next Best Course of
Action?
1. Repeat FISH testing using another
specimen and / or perform IHC test on same
specimen
2. Treat patient with chemotherapy +
trastuzumab
3. Treat patient with chemotherapy without
trastuzumab

FDA vs CAP / ASCO Guidelines for
HER2 Testing*
*These definitions depend on laboratory documentation of the following: proof of initial testing validation in which positive and negative HER2 categories are 95% concordant with alternative validated method or same validated
method for HER2; ongoing internal QA procedures; participation in external proficiency testing; current accreditation by valid accrediting agency.

Program Agenda
• Demographics and Background
• Principles of HER2 Testing
• Metastatic and Progressive HER2+ Breast
Cancer
• Early Stage HER2+ Breast Cancer
• Educational Outcomes Post-Assessment
• Question and Answer
• A 53-year-old female presents with
inflammatory breast cancer. Her breast
biopsy reveals a poorly differentiated
infiltrating ductal breast cancer
• The tumor is ER(-), PR(-), HER2 amplified
(ratio 4.3)
• Metastatic workup reveals small volume
metastases to both the lung and liver
• Labs reveal only minimal elevation of alkaline
phosphatase
Patient Case
What Systemic Therapy Will You
Initiate for Her Stage IV Breast
Cancer?
1. Weekly paclitaxel
2. Weekly paclitaxel + trastuzumab
3. Weekly paclitaxel + trastuzumab + pertuzumab
4. Docetaxel + trastuzumab + pertuzumab
5. TCHP: docetaxel + carboplatin + trastuzumab
+ pertuzumab
Patient Case
Progressive MBC
• 44-year-old female with metastatic
HER2-positive breast cancer
• Diagnosed 12 months ago with breast cancer
metastatic to the liver
• Liver biopsy demonstrated adenocarcinoma,
ER / PR-negative, HER2-positive
• Treated with pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and
docetaxel with initial partial response
• Progressive disease in liver after 12 months
• Performance status 0
How Would You Treat This Patient?
1. Trastuzumab-DM1
2. Lapatinib + capecitabine
3. Lapatinib + trastuzumab
4. Trastuzumab + vinorelbine

Program Agenda
• Demographics and Background
• Principles of HER2 Testing
• Metastatic and Progressive HER2+ Breast
Cancer
• Early Stage HER2+ Breast Cancer
• Educational Outcomes Post-Assessment
• Question and Answer
• A 42-year-old female presents with new
right breast mass
• Examination demonstrates a 3 cm mass in
the right breast with a palpable right
axillary lymph node
• Mammogram: suspicious mass right
breast
• Ultrasound: 2.8 cm mass right breast with
suspicious right axillary node
Patient Case
Frontline Therapy
Patient Case Continued
• Biopsy: IDC, ER-35%, PR-negative, HER2
3+, Ki67 82%
• Lymph node aspirate: positive for
malignant cells
• Systemic staging demonstrates 4 cm right
breast mass, right axillary nodes, but no
distant disease

NeoALTTO: Does pCR Translate Into
Improved EFS and OS?
• Found correlation
between pCR and
EFS and OS
• 3-year EFS was 86%
for those who
achieved pCR, 72%
for those who did not
(
P
= 0.0003)
• OS was 94% for
those who achieved
pCR,
87% for those
who did not
(P
= 0.005)
• Most notable in
HR-negative disease
• Not powered to detect
difference in survival
between study arms
