Abstract
After more than two decades of intensive research, tremendous progress has been achieved in the management of Human Epidermal Receptor-2 overexpressing (Her2+) Early Breast Cancer (EBC). In the latest years, major clinical trials have explored the neoadjuvant scenario, in addition to the prognostic role of pathologic complete response (pCR) and the possibility of a ‘tumor biology-driven’ patient selection provided by the assessment pathologic response. However, the introduction of new agents has been a major burden for financially-constrained healthcare systems–which includes those from most emerging markets (currently representing 85% of the world population) but also, to some extent, public systems from welfare states. This manuscript addresses evidence-based opportunities to promote a more rational utilization of the available resources in Her2+ EBC, in addition to areas of interest for future research in cost-efficiency.
