Breast cancer (BC) is the prevailing malignancy among women, with HER2 overexpression observed in 20-30 % of all BC, thereby serving as a prognostic indicator for unfavorable outcomes in affected individuals. There is a necessity to establish innovative treatment protocols to expand the therapeutic alternatives accessible for managing HER2-positive BC. In this study, we report a case of HER2-positive BC that was managed in our department using a combination of three targeted drugs (Trastuzumab, Pertuzumab and Pyrotinib) along with chemotherapy. The treatment resulted in a pathological complete response (pCR) and was observed to be well-tolerated, without any significant adverse reactions. Hence, the combination of Pyrotinib and Dual HER2 blockade treatment shows promise as a neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced HER2-positive BC to achieve a pCR in surgery. Nevertheless, this conclusion necessitates additional validation via meticulously designed clinical research investigations encompassing larger patient populations.
乳腺癌(BC)是女性中最常见的恶性肿瘤,在所有乳腺癌中,20%-30%观察到HER2过表达,因此可作为受影响个体不良预后的一个预后指标。有必要建立创新的治疗方案,以扩大可用于治疗HER2阳性乳腺癌的治疗选择。在本研究中,我们报告了1例HER2阳性乳腺癌病例,该病例在我们科室采用三种靶向药物(曲妥珠单抗、帕妥珠单抗和吡咯替尼)联合化疗进行治疗。治疗产生了病理完全缓解(pCR),且观察到耐受性良好,没有任何显著的不良反应。因此,吡咯替尼与双重HER2阻断治疗联合作为局部晚期HER2阳性乳腺癌的新辅助治疗以在手术中实现pCR显示出前景。然而,这一结论需要通过精心设计的、纳入更大患者群体的临床研究进行进一步验证。
