    neoadjuvant double-blocade-her2 (trastu + pertu) and aromatase inhibitor. I don't think that a PDK4-6 inhibitor is reasonable.If a complete clinical response is observed, surgery could be avoided ; RT can be performed.

    Only data about combining an anti-HER2 agent and hormonotherapy comes from a subset of a study with metastatic disease. In the study of Johnston S. et al, lapatinib in combination with letrozole increased PFS over letrozole alone. 
    But, regarding combining an anti-HER2 agent with hormonotherapy and a CDK 4/6 inhibitor, as far as I know, there is no data in literature.
    Maybe AI only or combination with anti HER2 therapy could be the reasonable choice for treatment in this patient.
