Central Nervous System Failure in Korean Breast Cancer Patients with HER2-Enriched Subtype: Korean Radiation Oncology Group 16-15 Multicenter Retrospective Study.
Conclusion: Adjuvant trastuzumab was associated with higher CNS failure rate in Korean patients with HER2-enriched breast cancer. Close monitoring and reasonable approaches such as CNS penetrating HER2 blockades combined with the current standard therapy could contribute to improving intracranial tumor control and quality of life in patients with CNS metastasis from HER2-enriched breast cancer.
