Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-low breast cancer has recently emerged as a targetable subset of breast tumors, based on the evidence from clinical trials of novel anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugates. This evolution has raised several biological and clinical questions, warranting the establishment of consensus to optimally treat patients with HER2-low breast tumors. Between 2022 and 2023, the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) held a virtual consensus-building process focused on HER2-low breast cancer. The consensus included a multidisciplinary panel of 32 leading experts in the management of breast cancer from nine different countries. The aim of the consensus was to develop statements on topics that are not covered in detail in the current ESMO Clinical Practice Guideline. The main topics identified for discussion were (i) biology of HER2-low breast cancer; (ii) pathologic diagnosis of HER2-low breast cancer; (iii) clinical management of HER2-low metastatic breast cancer; and (iv) clinical trial design for HER2-low breast cancer. The expert panel was divided into four working groups to address questions relating to one of the four topics outlined above. A review of the relevant scientific literature was conducted in advance. Consensus statements were developed by the working groups and then presented to the entire panel for further discussion and amendment before voting. This article presents the developed statements, including findings from the expert panel discussions, expert opinion, and a summary of evidence supporting each statement.
人类表皮生长因子受体 2(HER2)低表达乳腺癌最近成为一种可靶向的乳腺癌亚型,这是基于新型抗 HER2 抗体药物偶联物临床试验的证据。这一演变提出了几个生物学和临床问题,需要达成共识,以优化治疗 HER2 低表达乳腺癌患者。2022 年至 2023 年,欧洲肿瘤内科学会(ESMO)举行了一次虚拟共识制定过程,重点关注 HER2 低表达乳腺癌。该共识包括来自九个不同国家的 32 名在乳腺癌管理方面的领先专家组成的多学科小组。共识的目的是就当前 ESMO 临床实践指南中没有详细涵盖的主题制定声明。确定讨论的主要主题包括:(i)HER2 低表达乳腺癌的生物学;(ii)HER2 低表达乳腺癌的病理诊断;(iii)HER2 低表达转移性乳腺癌的临床管理;(iv)HER2 低表达乳腺癌的临床试验设计。专家组分为四个工作组,分别解决上述四个主题之一相关的问题。事先对相关科学文献进行了审查。工作组制定了共识声明,然后提交给全体小组进一步讨论和修订,然后再进行表决。本文介绍了制定的声明,包括专家组讨论的结果、专家意见以及支持每项声明的证据摘要。
