Core Viewpoint - Breast cancer treatment is evolving towards more precise subtyping and mechanisms, with various innovative treatment options being introduced. However, to truly benefit patients, challenges related to education, accessibility, and standardized guidelines need to be addressed [1]. Group 1: Research and Development - AstraZeneca has showcased its commitment to breast cancer research at the ASCO conference, presenting significant studies such as SERENA-6 and DESTINY-Breast09, focusing on key molecular subtypes like HR-positive/HER2-negative and HER2-positive [3][4]. - The DESTINY-Breast09 trial demonstrated the benefits of trastuzumab deruxtecan combined with pertuzumab over traditional therapies for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, potentially offering new treatment options for patients [4]. - The SERENA-6 study highlighted the potential of Camizestrant in treating HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer with ESR1 mutations, marking it as a significant finding at ASCO [5]. Group 2: Treatment Framework - AstraZeneca has developed a comprehensive treatment framework for the three major breast cancer subtypes: HER2-positive, HR-positive/HER2-negative, and triple-negative, covering all treatment stages from early to late [4]. - The company is actively exploring new mechanisms and treatment options for triple-negative breast cancer, aiming to introduce innovative ADC therapies to the Chinese market [5]. Group 3: Implementation and Accessibility - The BCCE project, led by the National Cancer Center with AstraZeneca's support, aims to bridge the gap between guidelines and clinical practice, enhancing breast cancer diagnosis and treatment across various healthcare levels [7][8]. - AstraZeneca is focused on improving drug accessibility by facilitating the registration and inclusion of innovative breast cancer drugs in China's national insurance directory, thereby reducing patient financial burdens [10]. - The company emphasizes the importance of patient education and multi-disciplinary collaboration to enhance the standardization of breast cancer treatment in China [8][10]. Group 4: Future Goals - AstraZeneca aims to contribute to the "Healthy China 2030" initiative by enhancing cancer survival rates through systematic approaches that promote standardized, precise, and sustainable breast cancer treatment [11].
