In stage IV breast cancer, the efficacy of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) targeted therapies in cases with discordance in HER2 expression between primary and metastatic site is not well known. We studied progression free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) by HER2 concordance when treating women with taxane-trastuzumab (± pertuzumab) in first or second line and trastuzumab-emtansine (T-DM1) or capecitabine-lapatinib in later lines.
