Zusammenfassung:Numerous patient- and disease-related factors must be considered when deciding a treatment approach for hormone receptor-positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer. Hormone therapy (HT) is generally the first option in the absence of compelling reasons for chemotherapy (e.g., rapidly progressive visceral disease). After failure of first-choice HT, alternative HT options are usually attempted until hormone resistance occurs and chemotherapy becomes the treatment of choice. The first two patients presented herein experienced prolonged disease control with third-line eribulin after two lines of HT. The third report involves a case of male breast cancer which typically presents as the HR+/HER2- phenotype. Eribulin in the second line provided prolonged clinical improvement and was well tolerated.
