Following the 2024 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), Paolo Tarantino, MD, and Matteo Lambertini, MD, PhD, co-hosted a live X Space with CancerNetwork® and spoke about updated trial findings that may impact the breast cancer treatment paradigm. Tarantino is a clinical research fellow at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School. Lambertini is an associate professor and consultant in medical oncology at the University of Genova – IRCCS Policlinico San Martino Hospital in Genova, Italy. Tarantino and Lambertini highlighted data from various studies that investigators presented at the Symposium, which included results on the use of treatment modalities such as antibody drug conjugates and CDK4/6 inhibitors. Some presentations of interest included the following: · Phase 3 DESTINY-Breast06 Trial (NCT04494425) o Patients with hormone receptor (HR)–positive, HER2-low or HER2-ultralow metastatic breast cancer were assigned to receive fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki (T-DXd; Enhertu) or physician's choice of therapy. o Treatment with T-DXd improved progression-free survival (PFS) among patients with a time to progression on frontline endocrine therapy of less than 6 months (HR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.25-0.59), 6 to 12 months (HR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.43-1.12), and more than 12 months (HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.51-0.88). o PFS improved with T-DXd regardless of disease burden. · Phase 3 EMBER-3 Trial (NCT04975308) o Investigators evaluated 3 treatment arms—imlunestrant (LY3484356) monotherapy, fulvestrant (Faslodex) or exemestane (Aromasin), and imlunestrant in combination with abemaciclib (Verzenio)—among patients with estrogen receptor (ER)–positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. o Across the overall population, imlunestrant monotherapy improved PFS compared with standard endocrine therapy (HR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.72-1.04; P = .12). o Imlunestrant plus abemaciclib also showed a PFS improvement vs endocrine therapy across the overall population (HR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.44-0.73; P

In this enlightening episode of The Patient From Hell podcast, Dr. Doug Blayney and host Samira Daswani dive deep into the key insights from the 2024 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS). They explore four critical areas of breast cancer care: CDK4/6 inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), de-escalation strategies for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), and the emerging role of artificial intelligence in cancer diagnostics. Throughout the conversation, a central theme emerges: the increasing ability to personalize cancer treatment, considering individual patient characteristics, biological markers, treatment options, and personal goals for quality and quantity of life. Key Highlights: 1. Biomarkers are becoming increasingly sophisticated, allowing for more precise and personalized treatment approaches across different breast cancer subtypes. 2. Patient choice and individual considerations are paramount, with treatment decisions now focusing on balancing potential survival benefits against quality of life impacts. 3. Emerging technologies like antibody-drug conjugates and artificial intelligence are revolutionizing breast cancer care by offering more nuanced, targeted diagnostic and treatment options. About our guest: Dr. Doug Blayney is an oncology physician who specializes in breast cancer and the Chief Medical Officer of Manta Cares. His research focuses on quality improvement in cancer care systems, new drug development, and patient experience improvement. At the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), he was founding Editor-in-Chief of its flagship practice journal, and as President, started the ASCO Quality Symposium and began planning for ASCO's CancerLinq. He was a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Growth Factor Guideline panel, and is a past member of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Oncology Drugs Advisory Committee and the NCCN Board of Directors. Key Moments: At 38 minutes: "There's a company now that has a gene expression panel that may predict, and it looks like it does predict, whether radiation treatment after standard treatment for DCIS is beneficial. So if this predicted biomarker of benefit for radiation pans out, and I think it probably will, that means that we can deescalate or personalize whether radiation treatment and its side effects are likely to be beneficial to that patient." At 45 minutes: "Quality of life, can that be answered by a nine question questionnaire? Well, maybe. If you can't get out of bed, your quality of life is because something hurts or if your arm doesn't work because they're so swollen, that's one extreme... What about 15 years playing that duet? What about three? It's those kind of subtleties that we need to take into account." At 49 minutes:"AI can interpret mammograms. The images from a mammogram 20 years ago, there were four, top, bottom, side, side, and maybe another oblique. And now there's 60 images from a mammogram. So that means that a radiologist, a human radiologist, whether it's next door or around the world, somebody needs to look at those. AI can help."

“I think the antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for physicians, and certainly patients too, are a little bit tough to wrap your head around,” says Erika P. Hamilton, MD, the director of breast cancer and gynecologic cancer research at Sarah Cannon Research Institute in Nashville. She discusses how TROP2-targeting ADCs currently fit into practice with Robert A. Figlin, MD, the Steven Spielberg Family Chair in Hematology-Oncology at the Cedars-Sinai Cancer Center in Los Angeles. From how to “choose the right patient for the right treatment at the right time” to important toxicity concerns, Dr. Hamilton shares her “elevator pitch” to patients when it comes to ADCs. “I think a very easy way to really talk about the activity at this point is just the fact that they're beating naked chemotherapy. So they are performing better than chemotherapy and, for the most part, comparing favorably in terms of side effects for patients as well.” Dr. Hamilton reported various financial relationships. Dr. Figlin reported various financial relationships.

In this episode of Breast Cancer Conversations, we delve into the critical topic of nuclear medicine and its role in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. As a breast cancer survivor and advocate, I understand the anxiety that comes with scans involving radioactive tracers. Today, we aim to demystify this process and highlight its importance.I am joined by Dr. Kiser and Pam Kohl, who provide insights from both medical and patient advocate perspectives. We discuss the safety and precautions associated with nuclear medicine tests, particularly focusing on the issue of extravasation—when the radioactive material leaks into surrounding tissues instead of staying in the vein.Throughout the episode, we stress the importance of patient advocacy and being informed about the procedures and technologies available. We hope this conversation empowers our listeners to ask the right questions and seek the best possible care.SURVIVINGBREASTCANCER.ORGAttend a free virtual SurvivingBreastCancer.org event:https://www.survivingbreastcancer.org/eventsFollow us on InstagramSurvivingBreastCancer.org: https://www.survivingbreastcancer.org/Breast Cancer Conversations: https://www.instagram.com/breastcancerconversations/About SurvivingBreastCancer.org: SurvivingBreastCancer.org, Inc.

In this episode of Breast Cancer Conversations, we had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Laura James, a naturopathic oncologist based in Washington State. Dr. James provided a wealth of information about the role of naturopathic oncology in breast cancer care, emphasizing the importance of integrative medicine. She clarified the distinctions between integrative, complementary, and alternative care, and highlighted the collaborative approach she takes with conventional medical teams to support patients through their cancer journey.We discussed the critical role of the "four cornerstones" of health—diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management—in supporting overall well-being and reducing the risk of cancer recurrence.We also delved into the emotional and psychological aspects of a breast cancer diagnosis, particularly the societal pressures and internalized guilt that many women face. Dr. James emphasized the need for setting boundaries and practicing real self-care, which she defines as self-preservation; it is not selfishness.

In this episode of Breast Cancer Conversations, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jessica Balidad, a remarkable woman who has turned her personal experience with breast cancer into a powerful advocacy platform. Jessica, a five-year survivor of stage 2B invasive ductal carcinoma, shared her journey from diagnosis to becoming a passionate advocate for women's health.Jessica's story is both inspiring and educational. She discovered her cancer through a self-breast exam, a practice she had been diligent about since having a benign tumor removed in college. Despite her family history of breast cancer, she faced challenges in getting her concerns taken seriously by medical professionals, highlighting the importance of self-advocacy and awareness.Jessica's experience led her to create the Feel For Your Life app, a free mobile application designed to educate women on how to perform self-breast exams, track changes and set reminders for regular checks. The app also includes a new AI feature, Breastfriend AI, which helps users understand their medical reports and prepare questions for their doctors, making the often overwhelming medical information more accessible and less intimidating.We also discussed the broader implications of breast cancer awareness and education, particularly among younger populations. Jessica has been instrumental in legislative efforts to include self-exam education in high school curriculums in Tennessee, aiming to empower the next generation with the knowledge to take control of their health.Additionally, Jessica shared insights into navigating the complexities of medical insurance, offering practical advice on how to handle claim rejections and advocate for necessary treatments.This episode is a testament to the power of turning personal pain into a purpose-driven mission. Jessica's work through Feel For Your Life is making a significant impact, providing essential tools and support for those affected by breast cancer.Attend a free virtual SurvivingBreastCancer.org event:https://www.survivingbreastcancer.org/eventsFollow us on InstagramLaura and Will: https://www.instagram.com/laura_and_will/SurvivingBreastCancer.org: https://www.survivingbreastcancer.org/Breast Cancer Conversations: https://www.instagram.com/breastcancerconversations/About SurvivingBreastCancer.org: SurvivingBreastCancer.org, Inc.

Clinicians in the RUSH Cancer Center are continually providing tailored cancer treatment to their patients. In today's episode with Jessica Slostad, MD, a breast oncologist in the RUSH University System for Health, she profiles one possible, future avenue for personalized medicine--organoid drug screening. Although they are still being evaluated, tumor organoid drug screening may play a key role in the evolution of personalized cancer care. This type of screening could help clinicians test the effectiveness and side effects of therapies prior to giving them to patients. Later in the episode, she profiles the ways she treats women with pregnancy-associated breast cancer, along with the unique challenges mothers and their babies encounter during treatment. Dr. Slostad is an assistant professor of Medicine in the Division of Hematology, Oncology and Cellular Therapy at RUSH and specializes in breast cancer management. Her research interests include clinical and translational research with a focus on precision oncology and organoid technology. “As we get more data and if [that data] supports the hypothesis that tumor organoids can be used as a drug screen to predict response, we would eventually look to see if we can use the tumor organoid to pick which therapy for the patient. Our data is not there yet; we first need to establish that there is concordance between the drug screen and what the patient is getting.” CME Link: https://cmetracker.net/RUSH/Publisher?page=pubOpenSub#/event/490159/

Black, Indigenous and People of Colour face healthcare disparities in many forms, including in their experience of cancer. The reasons are complex and involve numerous economic, social and biological factors. This was the experience of Michelle Audoin, a Black woman diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer at age 40. Asked to decide whether or not she wanted reconstructive breast surgery, she could find no images of Black women to help her make an informed choice. With the aim of raising awareness of the experiences of Black, Indigenous and People of Colour living with breast cancer, Michelle came up with the idea of Uncovered, A Breast Recognition Project, a resource created in collaboration with ReThink Breast Cancer, an organisation based in Canada. Through powerful photographs and stories of BIPOC living with breast cancer, Uncovered seeks to shine a light on these inequities, and help educate all people about the unmet needs of the Black, Indigenous and People of Colour community. We're speaking with Michelle Audoin, the creator of Uncovered, and MJ DeCoteau, Founder and Executive Director of Rethink Breast Cancer. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
