Dr. Mariana Chavez MacGregor presents @SWOG S1207 showing everolimus + ET vs ET alone did not improve IDFS in high-risk ER+/Her2- BC. Exploratory analysis showed improvement in IDFS & OS with everolimus in premenopausal pts. Seems like a common theme… @MDAndersonNews #SABCS22

🎤 drop! Clear, concise argument by @AbigailCaudleMD on why we should clip nodes! The biopsied node is not a sentinel node in 19-29%. Precision matters! @MDAndersonNews @KellyKhunt @HenryKuerer #SABCS22

Published today in The Lancet Oncology: The first modern prospective trial of surgery omission in patients with early-stage breast cancer who respond favorably to chemotherapy: bit.ly/3W3Ez27 @HenryKuerer @TheLancetOncol #BreastCancer #EndCancer

Some breast cancer patients with high responses to chemotherapy may not need surgery

The @ASBrS patient perspective session is critical. I am inspired by the wonderful survivors who generously share their stories of finding #joy and #freedom with #cancer. Life doesn’t stop with diagnosis and more pt support is needed through treatment into survivorship. #ASBrS22

Genomic testing (eg Oncotype DX) developed in homogeneous populations may underperform in diverse pts -> Black women with “low-risk” breast cancer do worse than white counterparts. Why we need diversity in research and a focus on improved adherence to endocrine therapy. #ASBrS22
