Guidelines for pharmaceutical care of endocrine therapeutics for breast cancer(2023 edition) / 中华肿瘤杂志

Endocrine therapy is one of the primary treatment methods for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer patients. As of June 1 2023, the National Medical Product Administration has approved 56 drugs related to endocrine therapy in patients with HR+ /HER-2- breast cancer (including generic drugs that have passed the consistency evaluation), including 44 endocrine drugs which can be categorized according to their mechanisms of action into selective estrogen receptor modulators, selective estrogen receptor down-regulators, aromatase inhibitors, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogs, and progestogens and 12 targeted drugs for combined with endocrine therapy, including CDK4/6 inhibitors, mTOR inhibitors, and HDAC inhibitors. The different pharmacological characteristics, mechanisms of action, and long-term medication factors of breast cancer endocrine therapy-related drugs can directly affect patients' medication adherence and medication safety. To standardize the pharmaceutical care of endocrine therapy drugs for breast cancer and promote rational use in clinical settings, the Oncology Specialty Pharmacist Subcommittee, in conjunction with multidisciplinary experts nationwide, has developed the "Guidelines for pharmaceutical care of endocrine therapy drugs for breast cancer (2023 edition)". The guidelines is based on clinical evidence-based evidence, relevant regulations of pharmaceutical management, and pharmaceutical care practices. The Delphi method and expert interviews were used to formulate the guidelines. The GRADE approach was used for assessing the certainty of evidence. This guideline mainly focuses on endocrine therapy for HR+ /HER-2- breast cancer patients. Due to space constraints, HER-2 positive targeted drugs were not included in the guideline. It covers 6 dimensions and 22 key problems of pharmaceutical care in the whole process of drug therapy, providing a scientific basis for pharmacists to carry out pharmaceutical care of such drugs.

Tratamiento del Cáncer de Mama Metastásico, Receptor Hormonal Positivo, Her 2 Negativo: Enfoque actual a Dianas Terapéuticas / Treatment of Metastatic Breast Cancer, Hormone Receptor Positive, Her 2 Negative: Current Approach to Therapeutic Targets

En el cáncer de mama luminal, la terapia hormonal está indicada en adyuvancia y neoadyuvancia. El estadio metastásico incluye un grupo heterogéneo de tumores que varían de acuerdo con el sitio de metástasis, tiempo de aparición, condición general de las pacientes, entre otras características intrínsecas del tumor. Esto establece tiempos de sobrevida con rangos variables de meses a muchos años. Los estrógenos actúan en receptores de membrana citoplasmática y nuclear: en las células neoplásicas estimulan la transcripción del ARN, con persistencia de la proliferación. El bloqueo de la acción hormonal en el cáncer avanzado encuentra mecanismos de resistencia con el uso de vías de señalización paralelas, este conocimiento ha permitido el desarrollo de inhibidores de CDK 4/6, mTOR y PIK3-CA, que se recomiendan en enfermedad metastásica, con prolongación significativa de la supervivencia global. En crisis visceral aún se mantiene el uso de quimioterapia sistémica secuencial o combinada

For a patient with estrogen receptor positivebreast cancer, the adjuvant and neoadjuvant endocrine therapy has an absolute benefit. The metastatic stage includes a diverse group of tumors that vary according to the site of metastasis, time of appear, general condition of the patients, and other intrinsic characteristics of the tumor. survival in cancer varies according these features, from a few months to many years. Estrogen hormones stimulate nuclear and cytoplasmic receptors. In neoplastic cells, estrogen regulate RNA transcription, with persistence of proliferation. The blocking of hormonal action in metastatic cancer, has resistance mechanisms with the use of parallel signaling pathways, this knowledge has allowed the development of inhibitors of CDK 4/6, mTOR and PIK3-CA, which are recommended in metastatic disease. with significant prolongation of overall survival. In visceral crisis, the use of sequential or combined systemic chemotherapy is still maintained
