Abstract
Approximately 20% of breast cancer patients harbor tumors that overexpress human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), which represents an adverse prognostic factor. The therapeutic landscape for this type of breast cancer has been transformed by the approval of anti-HER2 agents for adjuvant and neoadjuvant settings. Despite that, some of these patients will eventually relapse. Dual HER2 blockade has been successfully tried in early and advanced breast cancer. Here we report the case of an early HER2-positive breast cancer patient treated with trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and chemotherapy. The recently released final results of the much anticipated APHINITY trial confirm the outcome achieved in this patient.
