Nadine M. Tung, MD, on HER2-Negative Breast Cancer: INFORM Trial of Cisplatin vs Doxorubicin/Cyclophosphamide
2019 San Antonio Breast Cancer SymposiumNadine M. Tung, MD, of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, discusses cisplatin vs doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide (AC) as neoadjuvant treatment in BRCA-mutation carriers with HER2-negative breast cancer. Although cisplatin as a single agent shows activity in this setting, the pathologic complete response with this agent alone is not higher than that with standard AC chemotherapy (Abstract GS6-03).
