Advances in

HR-Positive Breast Cancer

The treatment of patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer is rapidly evolving. Recent approvals of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors and cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors have the potential to change the treatment armamentarium for this patient population and ultimately improve outcomes. Clinicians are faced with increasingly complex decision-making and must be educated on the optimal use of these agents in clinical practice.
