Treatment of metastatic, hormone receptor-positive HER2-negative breast cancer – is everolimus still an option? A case report

Summary/Abstract: Among females, breast cancer is across the world the most common malignancy. Currently, the standard in the treatment of metastatic, hormone receptor-positive HER2-negative breast cancer without visceral crisis, is hormonal therapy with cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK 4/6) inhibitors. Everolimus, a rapamycin derivative, is not routinely used in clinical practice but together with hormonal therapy it has been found to be an effective treatment option. We present a patient with recurrent, hormone-resistant breast cancer who was treated with everolimus with exemestane in beyond-standard therapy after two lines of palliative hormonal therapy (aromatase inhibitor and fulvestrant) and chemotherapy FAC (fluorouracil, adriamycin, cyclophosphamide). This treatment provided 24-months of progression-free survival. The place of everolimus in the treatment of advanced breast cancer in the era of CDK 4/6 inhibitors is being investigated in clinical trials.
