Safely de-escalating axillary intervention, even in setting of cN+, is highly important for our pts' QoL, reducing their risk of lymphoedema. Look forward to future studies of head to head ax RT vs ax surg. #ASCO24 #bcsm #survivorship

Over a decade of effort to reduce adj RT from 5 wks to 3 to 1. Next step, select the pts who we can omit RT totally and confidently. #ASCO24 #bcsm #radiotherapy

Dr Charlotte Coles nicely elaborated the pragmatic approach of applying ultra-hypofractiobated RT to DCIS despite not having equivalent RCT evidence for the invasive counterpart. A decision that makes clinical and practical sense. #ASCO24 #bcsm

ER low as a separate entity compare with other ER+ tumours, RW database analysis shows that adjuvant ET is still important! #ERlow #ASCO24 #bcsm

More for ER-low BC, for #ASCO24 our group presents a real world analysis on ER exp and it's impact on CDK4/6i efficacy in ABC, and the ER low group performed really poorly! ER level expression is important when making tx decision. meetings.asco.org/abstracts-pres… #ASCO24 #bcsm #ERlow

Long awaited results of postMONARCH. Treatment beyond CDK46i progression with Abema yields modest PFS over fulv (mainly in the context of palbo as 1st line... and visceral met -ve). #ASCO24 #bcsm

DB06 showed consistent PFS benefit for the HER2-ultra low subgroup as that for HER2-low. Tdxd v chemo 13.2m v 8.3m. A landmark moment for the tx landscape of HR+ ABC!! #ASCO24 #bcsm

Giuseppe Curigliano (G Curigliano MD PhD) presents DB06. Among pts with endocrine-refractory HR+ HER2-low/ultralow MBC, 1L T-DXd significantly & meaningfully improved PFS over chemo (13.2 vs 8.1 mo, HR 0.62, p<0.001). 11% ILD (0.7% G5). New option in the 1L and validation of HER2-ultralow.

HER2-ultralow officially joins the pie chart of targetable HER2 expressions. Next step: unlocking the full spectrum with quantitative assays. #ASCO24 #DB06

Otto Metzger (Otto Metzger) presents the practice-changing results from the #PATINA phase 3 trial: adding palbociclib to maintenance ET after 1L THP for HR+/HER2+ MBC significantly and meaningfully improved PFS (44 vs 29 months, HR 0.74, p=0.007). 44 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Press release: T-DXd + pertuzumab improved PFS vs THP in first-line HER2+ mBC. The T-DXd monotherapy arm remains blinded. The PFS advantage with T-DXd+P is likely to be considerable. Enough to convince breast med oncs to drop the taxane induction strategy? astrazeneca.com/media-centre/p…

Interesting results from a 1L trial of ET+ribo+ trastuzumab for HR+/HER2+ MBC (n=90). ORR 61%, mPFS 30 months. Confirming what we’re realizing more and more: patients with triple-positive metastatic disease NEED to receive a CDK4/6 inhibitor at part of their 1L treatment. #ASCO25

Sung-Bae Kim presents a phase 3 trial of oral paclitaxel (DHP107) vs IV paclitaxel, mostly conducted in China/Korea. Similar PFS, OS and ORR between the oral and IV formulations. Less neuropathy, but more neutropenia with the oral taxol. We NEED an oral taxane in clinic! #ASCO25

The curves everybody’s been waiting for. First line T-DXd + pertuzumab significantly prolonged PFS over THP for HER2+ MBC (40.7 vs 26.9 months, HR 0.56, p<0.001), doubled the rate of complete responses (15% vs 8%) and had a positive OS trend (HR 0.84). Practice changing data.
