Paolo Tarantino: The Seismic Shocks that Are Reshaping Algorithms for HER2+ Early Breast Cancer

Paolo Tarantino, 2025 Yvonne’s “Top Voice” Award Winner, Clinical Research Fellow at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Visiting Professor at McGill University, shared a post on X about a paper he authored, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology:

“For a decade, the SoC for HER2+ eBC has been neoadjuvant TCHP. Yet, multiple signs suggest we may be moving towards a new SoC. A more tailored one. In this JCO editorial to NeoCARHP, I review the seismic shocks that are reshaping algorithms for HER2+ eBC.”

Ankur Mehta, Medical Oncologist at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, shared this post, adding:

“A must-read! Key takeaways

  • Stage III HER2+ still needs intensive regimens, as underrepresented in THP trials
  • 6 vs 4 cycles of Taxanes, high pCR but tox high
  • Agree with Paolo-combine genomic/ctDNA/radiographic response to adapt escalation in neoadj
  • Weekly Nab-pac/Pac seems a better alternative to Docetaxel.”
