How do you decide between adjuvant TDM-1 and trastuzumab in breast cancer patients who have residual disease at time of surgery but were unable to complete the recommended neoadjuvant course?
Answer from: Medical Oncologist at Academic Institution
Since TDM1 is likely better tolerated than the standard neoadjuvant regimen, it would make sense to give adjuvant TDM1 if a patient had residual tumor following neoadjuvant chemotherapy that was discontinued early due to toxicity.
