Abstract

Increasing life expectancy and maintaining its quality are the main goals of the hormone-dependent HER2-negative advanced breast cancer (HR+ HER2- аBC) therapy. A Satellite Symposium of Novartis Pharma was held on January 28th, 2021, within the framework of the RUSSCO Big Conference «Breast Cancer». It was dedicated to the benefits of Risarg (ribociclib) therapy in combination with hormone therapy (HT). Experts-oncologists shared current data and their experience with ribociclib. The combination of CDK4/6 inhibitors with HT became a gold standard for the 1st line therapy for HR+ HER2- aBC. And the choice of a specific drug is based on the data of clinical studies and is made taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient. The results of ribociclib studies (MONALEESA-3 and MONALEESA-7) demonstrate a significant increase in the median overall survival and a decrease in the risk of death by 28 and 30%. The tolerance profile of ribociclib is well studied and controlled, therefore the risks of adverse events can be reduced by the competent monitoring, and the necessary dose modification can be made, which allows most patients to maintain highly effective therapy. The use of ribociclib allows to achieve the main goals of therapy – to prolong the patient’s life and maintain or improve its quality.
