Trastuzumab deruxtecan and elacestrant both represent important new treatment options for subgroups of patients with breast cancer.

In the first-line setting, inavolisib plus palbociclib and fulvestrant improved PFS in patients with HR-positive breast cancers; however, further research is needed to understand the trends in OS.
