Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy, Endocrine

Therapy, and Targeted Therapy for


Breast Cancer: ASCO Guideline
January 28, 2021
Adjuvant Vs. Neoadjuvant therapy
• Adjuvant or postoperative systemic therapy is the mainstay of
treatment for early-stage breast cancer.
• The goal of adjuvant treatment is to eradicate micro-metastatic
disease and prevent distant recurrence
• Neoadjuvant refers to the use of systemic therapy prior to surgery.
• Indication for neoadjuvant therapy:
• In-operable disease(Locally advanced)
• For downsizing/staging
• For prognosis and post neoadjuvant treatment
ASCO Guideline
• Guideline Question: What is the optimal use of neoadjuvant therapy
for women with invasive, nonmetastatic breast cancer?
• Target Population: Patients with nonmetastatic breast cancer.
• Target Audience: Medical oncologists, surgical oncologists,
radiologists, pathologists, oncology nurses, patients or caregivers or
advocates, and oncology advanced practice providers.
• Methods: An Expert Panel was convened to develop clinical practice
guideline recommendations based on a systematic review of the
medical literature.

Which patients with breast cancer are appropriate
candidates for neoadjuvant systemic therapy?
Recommendations: candidates for neoadjuvant
systemic therapy
Recommendations Evidence Strength of
quality recommendation
1.1 - Patient with inflammatory breast cancer Low Strong
- Unresectable or locally advanced disease
1.2 - Tumor histology, grade, stage and estrogen, progesterone, and insufficient moderate
HER2 expression should routinely be used to guide clinical
decisions
insufficient evidence to support the use of other immunochemical
markers, morphological markers, or genomic profiles
1.3 - high-risk HER2-positive or triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) → high strong
residual tumor would guide adjuvant treatment
1.4 - Reducing the extent of surgery: BCT and  ALND intermediate moderate
1.5 - a delay in surgery is preferable low moderate
(eg, for genetic testing ;surgical treatment decision making, to
allow time to consider reconstructive options)
How should response be measured in patients
receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy?
Recommendations: Measurement after
receiving NST
Recommendations Evidence Strength of
quality recommendation
2.1 - Monitored for response with clinical examination insufficient moderate
- Imaging modality: MMG, US, MRI
2.2 - Blood- and tissue-based biomarkers should not be used insufficient strong
for monitoring
2.3 - Pathologic complete response (pCR), defined as insufficient moderate
absence of invasive disease in breast and lymph nodes
→ guide clinical making
What neoadjuvant systemic therapy regimens are
recommended for patients with TNBC?
Recommendations: Recommended regimens
for patients with TNBC
Recommendations Evidence Strength of
quality recommendation
3.1 - clinically node-positive and/or at least T1c disease high strong
- anthracycline- and taxane-containing regimen
3.2 - cT1a or cT1bN0 TNBC should not routinely be offered high strong
neoadjuvant therapy
3.3 - Carboplatin may be offered for neoadjuvant regimen Intermediate moderate
→  pCR
- balance of potential benefits and harms
3.4 - Insufficient evidence adding the immune checkpoint Intermediate moderate
inhibitors to neoadjuvant chemotherapy
What neoadjuvant treatment is recommended for
patients with HR-positive/HER2-negative breast
cancer?
Recommendations: HR-positive/HER2-
negative breast cancer
Recommendations Evidence Strength of
quality recommendation
4.1 - Neoadjuvant chemotherapy can be used instead of Low moderate
adjuvant chemotherapy
- Chemotherapy decision can be made without
surgical pathology data and/or tumor-specific
genomic testing
4.2 - Post menopausal patient: AI →  locoregional Intermediate moderate
treatment
- No intent for surgery>> disease control
4.3 - Pre menopausal patient with early breast cancer: Intermediate moderate
neoadjuvant endocrine therapy should not be
routinely offered .
What neoadjuvant treatment is recommended for
patients with HER2-positive disease?
Recommendations: Patients with HER2-
positive disease
Recommendations Evidence Strength of
quality recommendation
5.1 - Node-positive or high-risk node-negative, HER2- high strong
positive disease
- Neoadjuvant therapy with an anthracycline and
taxane or non–anthracycline-based regimen in
combination with trastuzumab.
- Pertuzumab may be used in combination with H.
5.2 - T1a N0 and T1b N0, HER2-positive disease should not Intermediate moderate
be routinely offered neoadjuvant chemotherapy or
anti-HER2 agents
