About 70% of newly diagnosed breast cancers belong to a specific subgroup called hormone receptor positive (HR+)/Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-). In cases with metastatic disease, doctors recommend a treatment approach combining drugs such as palbociclib along with hormonal therapy. Our review evaluates how palbociclib performs in patients in real-world practice situations, beyond clinical trial settings. We looked at two key measures: how long the cancer stays controlled (progression-free survival) and overall survival. The results from these real-world studies are discussed and compared to findings in clinical trials.
大约70%的新诊断乳腺癌属于一个特定的亚组,称为激素受体阳性(HR)/人类表皮生长因子受体2阴性(HER2-)。在转移性疾病的病例中,医生建议将palbociclib等药物与激素治疗相结合的治疗方法。我们的综述评估了palbociclib在现实实践情况下在患者中的表现,超出临床试验设置。我们研究了两个关键指标:癌症保持控制的时间(无进展生存期)和总生存期。讨论了这些真实世界研究的结果,并将其与临床试验的结果进行了比较。
