February 3 is National Women Physicians Day – an event that celebrates Elizabeth Blackwell’s birthday, who was the first female medical doctor in the United States. On this day, we say thank you to all of the women in medicine who are making a difference around the world. #NWPD

I’m starting a national campaign to stop calling tam/AIs “chemoprevention”. I’m 100% sure leads to pts declining therapy. “Hormone therapy” is also a misnomer. Let’s call it “estrogen blockers” bc patient understand this, are more likely to anticipate side effects. Who’s with me?

🔊⚠️🔊⚠️ In the latest poll, 70% considered the use of primary sustained endocrine therapy (ET) in HR+ HER2- in #breastcancer patients older than 70yrs. Let’s check recent evidence on that published at Annals of Surgical Oncology! 🧵🧵🧵

Excellent new podcast from the Society of Surgical Oncology Fellows & Young Attendings Subcommittee — tips on preparing for the transition from trainee to faculty practice! Kimberly Washington, MD @bsparkmanMD Jennifer Tseng #SSO_FYAS surgonctoday.libsyn.com/mastering-the-…

Calling all TRAINEES attending Society of Surgical Oncology #SSO2023 - check out the Trainees Lounge, Rm 210. New this year we will have representatives from many CGSO and Breast Fellowship Programs to learn about the programs and #network! See thread below for the programs participating:

Dr. Anita Mamtani Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center presents on axillary management in cT1N0 TNBC & Her2+ breast ca. These patients may be safely selected to undergo upfront surgery w/o concern that many will be node positive & would have benefited from de-escalation of axilla w/ NACT. #SSO2023

Strong start to #ASBRS2023 with thoughtful presentations highlighting controversial issues in breast surgery ASBrS Puneet Singh, MD FACS jennifer bellon

.Clara R. Farley beautifully presents MD Anderson Cancer Center study on factors predicting 4 or more positive nodes in cN0 HR+/Her2- breast cancer. Important data as we try to better predict nodal burden which can impact systemic therapy decisions #ASBrS23 ASBrS

Did you know there are 13 types of #breastcancer? In this video I go through them all, and as a bonus, I talk about the 5 ways it can be described - stage, grade etc What is Breast Cancer? youtu.be/2sK4myDbI30 via YouTube

Which should be the duration of adjuvant endocrine treatment for early-stage HR+ breast cancer? Dr. Michael Gnant nicely recapitulates the evidence & highlights the recent votes by the St. Gallen panel, with fairly clear answers. #ASCO23

#ASCO23 #BreastCancer Poster Session: ASCENT-05/OptimICE-RD: Phase 3 study of adjuvant sacituzumab govitecan + pembro vs pembro ± capecitabine in patients with #TNBC and residual disease after neoadjuvant therapy and surgery.

Less than a week away until you can learn practical tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your fellowship! Don't miss this opportunity to maximize your potential 📈 ow.ly/rpcP50PC8rk

2023 was an outstanding year for breast cancer research As we start wrapping up #SABCS23, we need to think about how to incorporate what we learned in the clinic and future research. Looking forward to what is yet to come to improve outcomes for our patients! OncoAlert #BCSM

🔥📄 Hot off the Journal of Clinical Oncology press‼️ The ASCO guideline on germline testing in patients with #BreastCancer 👏Congrats to all on this important work! Filipa Lynce, MD, FASCO 🇵🇹 🇺🇸 Isabelle Bedrosian @MarkRobsonMD Sid Yadav MD, FACP Maria Isabel Achatz MD PhD Judy Boughey G Curigliano MD PhD Sue Friedman pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38175972/

It’s time to update our counseling! BCT may have a better survival and has equivalent recurrence to mastectomy. #ASBRS24

So many informative & engaging sessions at this year's #ASBrS24! Also excited to officially ✔️off first project as PI - hopefully the geographic reach of breast specialty services can be further expanded to high risk individuals by means of telemedicine offerings in the future!
