Abstract

BACKGROUND: CDK4/6 inhibitors plus aromatase inhibitors (AI) significantly improve the therapeutic effect of initial treatment for HR + /HER2- advanced breast cancer. However, there is a lack of head-to-head randomized controlled trials involving the four CDK4/6 inhibitors in current clinical treatments. This article aims to compare the efficacy and safety of the four CDK4/6 inhibitors in previously untreated HR + /HER2- advanced breast cancer for a better clinical medication selection.
