Objective To explore the value of multidisciplinary team (MDT) discussion in the comprehensive treatment of HER-2 positive breast cancer.Method The clinical data of 2 patients with HER-2 positive breast cancer admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University after MDT discussions were analyzed retrospectively.Results Case 1 was a 32-year-old woman diagnosed with left breast non-special type invasive carcinoma at admission, cT2N1M0, stage ⅡB, WHO grade 2, ER (–), PR (–), HER-2 (+++), Ki-67 (+, 20%). After MDT discussion, the patient was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy for 6 cycles, and the efficacy evaluation was partial response, received left breast conserving surgery and axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), postoperative staging ypT1aN1ycM0, stage ⅡA, Miller-Payne grade 4, the patient was satisfied with the shape of breast, received radiotherapy and anti-HER-2 therapy after surgery. At present, there was no recurrence and metastasis during anti-HER-2 therapy. Case 2 was diagnosed with right breast non-special type invasive carcinoma at admission, cT3N0M0, stage ⅡB, WHO grade 3, ER (–), PR (–), HER-2 (+++), Ki-67 (+, 40%), local advanced breast cancer. After MDT discussion, the patient was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy for 2 cycles, and the efficacy evaluation was progressive disease. After the replacement of two neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen, the efficacy evaluation was still progressive disease. Finally after MDT discussion, the patient received right breast mastectomy and ALND, postoperative staging ypT4bN1ycM0, stage ⅢB, Miller-Payne grade 1, received radiotherapy, adjuvant treatment with pyrotinib and capecitabine after surgery. The patient was followed up for 3 months by telephone, the patient did not follow the doctor’ instructions, no recurrence and metastasis was found in the review.Conclusion Under the precision medical system, comprehensive treatment of breast cancer based on the MDT model could target patients’ disease characteristics, physical conditions, previous diagnosis and treatment, family situation, and other individual factors, formulate the best personal treatment plan for patients, and bring greater benefits to patients.
