Immunotherapy for hormone receptor‒positive HER2-negative breast cancer

Abstract

Abstract Additional therapies are needed to improve outcomes in patients with hormone receptor–positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative breast cancer. Research on the potential role of immunotherapy, particularly programmed cell death protein 1/programmed cell death ligand 1 inhibitors, is rapidly expanding in both the early and metastatic settings with some preliminary evidence suggesting benefit when used as part of combination therapy. Several ongoing phase 3 studies should help define their future role in treating these patients.
