How would you manage adjuvant treatment of a patient with ER+/PR+/HER2+ breast cancer and a small amount of residual disease (e.g. T1mi) following neoadjuvant TCHP?
Patient had a clinical T2N0 cancer at diagnosis, completed 6 cycles TCHP, and had 0.2mm residual disease with 80% cellularity, negative sentinel node.

The benefit for TDM1 was seen in the subset analysis of KATHERINE patients with residual tumors under 1cm (including T1mic) HR .66 and about a 5% absolute risk reduction. So I agree with @Robert Wesolowski that switching to TDM1 should be discussed with the patient.

This is a very tough question. The KATHERINE trial allowed patients with any residual disease following neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. Based on analysis by Symmans et al., patients with HER2 positive breast cancer who had residual cancer burden (RCB) class I (minimal residual disease) had a 10-year...

I agree with the responses above. In the KATHERINE trial, the benefit was seen with T-DM1 among ypT1a, ypT1b, and ypT1mic patients who consisted of at least 40-44% of the cohort (for the intervention and the control groups, suggesting the benefit across all groups). Given this data, one will be incl...

Yes, for only microscopic residual disease, node-negative. We need more data in the future.
