Paolo Tarantino, Research fellow at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, shared an article by Alicia F. C. Okines on X:
“Out in Nature Medicine – the combo of tucatinib/trastuzumab +/- fulvestrant yields relevant activity (ORR 42%, PFS 9.5 mo) in pts with HER2 mutant MBC (mostly HR+, half lobular).
Well tolerated combo, to be considered in these pts before moving to chemo.”
