Carlos L. Arteaga, MD, director of the Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center at UT Southwestern Medical Center, discusses the use of capecitabine after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
In the phase III GEICAM/CIBOMA trial, there was not an improvement found in progression-free survival (PFS) in the experimental arm as compared to those randomized to observation. A subgroup analysis in this study showed there was improvement in PFS in patients with nonbasal TNBC, says Arteaga.
