Abstract

Background: Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) has been widely used for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients who previously received trastuzumab (Tmab) and a taxane since 2013 in Japan. However, there is a lack of evidence for treatment outcomes after exposure to T-DM1 in Japanese HER2-positive MBC patients. This study aimed to describe the survival outcomes of patients with HER2-positive MBC who received subsequent treatment after T-DM1 and clarify the predictive factors of their prognosis.
