Professors Ning Xie & Lingzhi Xu: ADC vs. Targeted Therapy + Endocrine Therapy in the Post-CDK4/6i Era

For patients with hormone receptor–positive (HR+) advanced breast cancer who progress after treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors, should clinicians choose antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) or a combination of targeted therapy plus endocrine therapy (ET)? At the 2025 Summer Breast Cancer Forum · Northern Salon, the “Debate” session addressed this very question. Professor Ning Xie of Hunan Cancer Hospital and Professor Lingzhi Xu of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University presented evidence-based arguments for ADCs and for targeted therapy + ET, respectively. In this Oncology Frontier feature, they further elaborate on their viewpoints.
