CDK4/6 Inhibitors Treatment Options in the eBC Setting
Author(s)Kevin Kalinsky, MD, MS, Virginia Kaklamani, MD
Panelists discuss how the NCCN guidelines for risk stratification in HR+/HER2– early-stage breast cancer (eBC) guide clinical decision-making, exploring real-world adherence to these guidelines, the complexity of risk stratification in various clinical scenarios, and the role of clinical factors, biomarkers, and advanced testing methodologies (including RSClin N+, next-generation sequencing [NGS], fluorescence in situ hybridization [FISH], immunohistochemistry [IHC], and circulating DNA [ctDNA]) in defining “high-risk” patients and guiding treatment strategies.
