Cell-cycle abnormalities are common in estrogen receptor- and/or progesterone receptor-positive, and HER2-non-overexpressing (HR+/HER2-) breast cancer, and have long been considered potential therapeutic targets. Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors have dramatically changed the therapeutic management of HR+/HER2-advanced breast cancer by prolonging progression-free and overall survival when given in combination with endocrine therapy. In this article, available data from PALLAS and monarchE trials regarding the efficacy and toxicity of adjuvant combined therapy with CDK 4/6 inhibitors and endocine therapy in HR+/HER2-early breast cancer are reviewed, and relevant issues including study hypothesis, patient selection, and duration of follow-up are discussed.
