1. ET with CDK 4/6 inhibitor is standard of care in 1st line therapy for themajority of ER+/ HER2-advancedbreast cancer patients, including those with clinically aggressive disease.

#Definition of aggressive ABC:symptomatic visceral metastases, rapid disease progression or impending visceral compromise, marked non- visceral-diseasebut withtotal bilirubin <1.5ULN.
IA1
2. ET with CDK 4/6 inhibitor maybe consideredafter surgical resection or radiotherapy for clinically stable CNS metastasis.IIB2
3. ET with CDK4/6 inhibitor is effective both in luminal A and luminal B subgroups.*

*The subgroups refer to PAM50 defined intrinsic subtypes, rather than clinicopathologic subtypes.
