Abstract

While combined hormone therapy is the generally accepted standard regardless of the patient’s menopausal status in advanced ER+ HER2 breast cancer, in the case of neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced forms, chemotherapy with the inclusion of anthracyclines and taxanes remains the standard. The objective of this review was the scientific substantiation of the advisability of using combined hormone therapy at the preoperative stage of treatment of this category of patients. After analyzing the information presented in electronic databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, BMS), as well as studying active clinical trials on the ClinicalTrials.gov portal, we concluded that most of the studies related to neoadjuvant hormone therapy were carried out on a population of postmenopausal patients. In this regard, a randomized controlled clinical trial to study the efficacy and safety of a new method of preoperative treatment in premenopausal women with ER+ HER2-locally advanced breast cancer was initiated.
