HER2 Breast Cancer is complicated, and this week, we explore those with residual disease post neoadjuvant therapy (KATHERINE) and the idea of de-escalation in a subpopulation of HER2-positive breast cancer patients (PERSEPHONE). The advent of a new class of drugs leads to excitement, unanswered questions and boundless opportunities. With ADC (antibody-drug conjugates) making their mark on traditional chemotherapy, the landscape of everything we treat is slowly changing.

Studies discussed in the episode:
