The efficacy of lapatinib in patients with metastatic HER2 positive breast cancer who received prior therapy with monoclonal antibodies and antibody-drug conjugate: a single institutional experience.

The choice of the anti-HER2 agent depends on country-specific availability, the specific, previously administered anti-HER2 therapy and the relapse-free interval, although there is not much published data on the use of lapatinib after progression on pertuzumab and/or T-DM1. The aim of this research is to determine efficacy of lapatinib in this setting. This research included 111 patients with metastatic HER2 positive breast cancer who received lapatinib with capecitabine at The Oncology Institute of Vojvodina.
