Abstract

PHERGain trial investigated the potential of metabolic imaging to identify candidates for chemotherapy (CT) de-escalation in HER2-positive, stage I-IIIA, invasive, operable breast cancer with at least one breast lesion evaluable by FDG-PET. Based on data from NeoALTTO study, FDG-PET “responders” were defined as those pts with maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) reduction of at least 40% in all their target lesions after two cycles of T and P. Of the 285 patients included in T+P arm, 227 pts were FDG-PET responders and received a total of 8 cycles of T+P.
