New results from the NATALEE trial presented at #ESMO26 suggest that adding Kisqali to an aromatase inhibitor may help people with early-stage HR+, HER2-negative breast cancer live longer.
Overall survival rates (how long people live, whether or not the cancer comes back) were:
📊 At 5 years: 94% vs. 93%
📊 At 6 years: 92% vs. 90%
Both results favored the Kisqali combination over an aromatase inhibitor alone.

Median overall survival was 32 vs. 24.6 months, though the difference wasn't statistically significant. The combination also improved progression-free survival.
