Question 1
A 56-year-old postmenopausal woman undergoes breast-conserving surgery and sentinel lymph node biopsy for an invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast. Pathology reveals a 2.2 cm, grade 2 tumor with 2 positive sentinel lymph nodes (pT2 pN1a M0). The tumor is estrogen receptor (ER) 95% positive, progesterone receptor (PR) 80% positive, and HER2-negative (IHC 1+). A 21-gene recurrence score (Oncotype DX) assay returns a recurrence score of 28. According to ESMO guidelines and landmark clinical trial data, what is the most appropriate systemic adjuvant treatment strategy?
Correct Answer:
Adjuvant chemotherapy (anthracycline/taxane-based) followed by an aromatase inhibitor plus 2 years of the CDK4/6 inhibitor abemaciclib
Question 2
A 49-year-old woman with metastatic HER2-positive (IHC 3+) invasive ductal breast cancer experiences disease progression in the liver and lungs while receiving first-line maintenance trastuzumab and pertuzumab following induction docetaxel. She is asymptomatic with an ECOG performance status of 0 and normal baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF 60%). Based on ESMO guidelines and the DESTINY-Breast03 trial, what is the standard second-line systemic therapy of choice?
Correct Answer:
Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd)
Question 3
A 62-year-old woman with metastatic ER-positive, HER2-low (IHC 1+, ISH-negative) breast cancer develops symptomatic bone and visceral liver metastases after progressing through two prior lines of endocrine therapy plus CDK4/6 inhibition and one line of single-agent paclitaxel chemotherapy. Her ECOG performance status is 1. Which systemic therapy is supported by Phase III trial data (DESTINY-Breast04) to provide statistically significant progression-free and overall survival benefits in this setting?
Correct Answer:
Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd)
Question 4
A 42-year-old premenopausal woman is diagnosed with clinical stage IIB (cT2 cN1 M0) triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Genetic testing is negative for germline BRCA1/2 mutations. In accordance with the KEYNOTE-522 trial and ESMO guidelines, what is the standard neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment paradigm?
Correct Answer:
Neoadjuvant pembrolizumab combined with carboplatin/paclitaxel followed by doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide, then definitive surgery, followed by adjuvant pembrolizumab to complete 1 year
Question 5
A 38-year-old woman with a documented deleterious germline BRCA1 mutation completes neoadjuvant anthracycline/taxane chemotherapy and bilateral mastectomy for triple-negative breast cancer. Final surgical pathology reveals residual invasive carcinoma measuring 1.8 cm with 1 positive axillary lymph node (ypT1c ypN1a, non-pCR). Which adjuvant targeted therapy is indicated based on the Phase III OlympiA trial to improve invasive disease-free and overall survival?
Correct Answer:
Adjuvant Olaparib orally for 1 year
