Abstract
Purpose. Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent malignancy in women. Nowadays we have a rich armamentarium of anti-cancer medications indicated for this pathology, however in the clinical settings the drug resistance is frequently seen. In such cases of hormone-sensitive HER2-negative (HER2-) BC the inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases may be used. Ribociclib is the representative of this family.
Material and methods. We present a case of ribociclib therapy of the metastatic hormone-sensitive HER2- BC, refractory to the previous endocrine therapy.
Results. In the described case the ribociclib therapy associated with the partial response of 16+ months duration as well as the quality of life improvement.
Conclusion. Ribociclib represents the convenient and well-tolerated therapy which is able to preserve and even improve the quality of life in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive HER2- BC, as presented in the article.
Key words: breast cancer, CDK4/6 inhibitors, ribociclib, durable partial response.
