The role of capecitabine and eribulin in the treatment of metastatic HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer

Abstract

The review analyzed the role of capecitabine and eribulin in the treatment of HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer in patients pretreated with anthracyclines and taxanes. The mechanism of the antitumor action of capecitabine and eribulin, the efficacy in various biological subtypes of breast cancer and safety of treatment is described. The results of a comparative analysis of the efficacy and safety of eribulin monotherapy compared with capecitabine therapy as a second-line treatment for advanced HER2-negative breast cancer are presented.
