Do you think about CDK4/6 inhibitor selection differently in a patient with de novo rather than recurrent metastatic disease?
Subgroup analyses in MONALEESA-2 suggest more benefit in de novo treatment naive patients, which is in contrast to MONARCH-3 data presented at ESMO 2022 where hazard ratio was similar in these patient groups.

The type of endocrine therapy might vary though - would consider Fulvestrant as endocrine therapy partner for a patient who has disease recurrence on adjuv...

Exploratory subgroup analysis of MONALEESA-2 showed OS benefit in various subgroups consistent...
