Elvina Almuradova: HER2+ T1micN0 BC-a long-debated gray zone

Elvina Almuradova, Associate Professor of Oncology at the European Institute of Oncology, shared a post on X

“HER2+ T1micN0 BC-a long-debated gray zone.
MSKCC study (n=213)
Key findings:
  • No difference in invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) between patients with 1–4 vs. ≥5 microinvasive foci
  •  No clear iDFS benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy + HER2-targeted therapy (CT/H2TT) in patients with ≥5 foci
And yet, prognosis was excellent overall, with a 5-year iDFS of 95%
More treatment ≠ , better outcome?”
