Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Hope S. Rugo, MD, FASCO Not only is PI3Kα the most common mutation seen in patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer, but it's also associated with endocrine therapy resistance and more aggressive cancer growth. Given its prevalence and impact on outcomes, it's important to know how and when to test for this mutation and how emerging targeted therapies might change our approach in clinical practice. Joining Dr. Charles Turck to share her insights on PI3Kα testing and targeted therapies for HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer is Dr. Hope Rugo, Director of the Women's Cancers Program, Division Chief of Breast Medical Oncology and Professor of the Department of Medical Oncology and Therapeutics Research at City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center.

On December 5, 2025, we will kick off the IASLC ASCO 2025 North America Conference on Lung Cancer. Guest include Dr. Ramesh Rengan, the Peter Wootton Professor and Chair of Radiation Oncology at the University of Washington and Senior Vice President of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and Dr. Kristen Marrone, Associate Professor of Oncology and Director of the Medical Oncology and Hematology Fellowship Program at Johns Hopkins University.

In this episode, CancerNetwork® spoke with breast oncologists Heather McArthur, MD; Erika Hamilton, MD; Hope Rugo, MD; and Paolo Tarantino, MD, PhD, about advances in breast cancer. These developments included recent drug approvals and ongoing research for therapeutic approaches, particularly in the areas of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and CDK4/6 inhibitors, based on presentations they gave at the 25th Annual International Congress on the Future of Breast Cancer (IBC) East in New York City. Initially, McArthur, Komen Distinguished Chair in Clinical Breast Cancer Research at the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center, discussed immunotherapy use in high-risk triple-negative and HER2-positive disease, the evolving role of adjuvant CDK4/6 inhibition in HER2-negative breast cancer, and potentially transformative advancements in early breast cancer treatment.  She highlighted the FDA approval for pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in early-stage triple-negative breast cancer, promising clinical trials in estrogen receptor (ER)–positive high-risk early-stage breast cancer, and data from an investigator-initiated trial to treat HER2-positive disease. Additionally, she highlighted an 8.5% improvement in pathological complete response with pembrolizumab added to immunotherapy in the phase 3 KEYNOTE-756 trial (NCT03725059), adding that a further event-free survival benefit may complicate the landscape for CDK4/6 inhibition based on lung and liver toxicities associated with the coadministration of these inhibitors with immunotherapy.1 McArthur expressed further excitement for ADC-based combinations for triple-negative disease, as well as in the high-risk residual disease setting. In addition, she highlighted potential advancements in de-escalation strategies and further considerations for ADCs in the HER2-positive and hormone receptor (HR)–positive spaces. Then, Hamilton, director of Breast Cancer and Gynecologic Cancer Research at the Sarah Cannon Research Institute, highlighted emerging therapies for early breast cancer, as well as her use of datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk (dato-DXd; Datroway) and fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki (T-DXd; Enhertu) given their recent approvals in various breast cancer subtypes. She also touched upon challenges with respect to the implementation of new therapies for early breast cancer into clinical practice. She initially highlighted new data from the phase 3 VERITAC-2 trial (NCT05654623) presented at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.2 Specifically, findings showed that vepdegestrant, an oral proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC), exhibited an efficacy advantage over fulvestrant (Faslodex) in patients with ESR1-mutant ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic disease. Moreover, she highlighted data from the phase 3 DESTINY-Breast09 (NCT04784715) of T-DXd in various combinations for patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.3 Hamilton further highlighted her implementation of T-DXd into clinical practice, citing her use of the agent in patients with metastatic disease, including those with HER2-low and HER2-ultralow breast cancer. She further differentiated dato-DXd from T-DXd, suggesting that they were different classes of drugs due to their different targets: TROP2 vs HER2. She concluded by highlighting an unmet need regarding sustained benefit from endocrine therapy in HR-positive disease, as well as for ADC sequencing and mechanisms of resistance. Afterward, Rugo, division chief of Breast Medical Oncology, Women's Cancer Program Director, and professor in the Department of Medical Oncology and Therapeutics Research at City of Hope, discussed efficacy and safety considerations for CDK4/6 inhibitors in early breast cancer treatment. Specifically, she highlighted their high tolerability despite adverse effects and costs associated with their use. Rugo further touched upon a reduction of recurrence rates associated with CDK4/6 inhibition, although longer-term follow-up data were warranted to optimize the duration of therapy and elucidate survival outcomes. Finally, Tarantino, a research fellow at the Dana-Farber Institute, concluded by discussing sequencing strategies for ADCs, as well as which breast cancer settings or patient populations will experience the greatest impact with this treatment modality. Tarantino discussed his use of the “sandwich strategy,” where he switches the mechanism of action of treatment after using a TOPO1 ADC. Furthermore, Tarantino highlighted data from the DESTINY-Breast09 and phase 3 ASCENT-04 (NCT06100874) trials, which displayed the enhanced efficacy of 2 ADC combination therapies.4 He concluded by discussing future considerations for combining multiple ADCs.

The medical oncology board examinations are a pivotal time in a clinician's career. However, preparing for and taking this exam comes as a crucial moment when residents/fellows begin their transition to attending.  While in theory, the process of taking an exam and then beginning a new job sounds simple, it is quite complex. The hematology/oncology boards require rigorous preparation. The exam is followed by the new attending position, where clinicians, for the first time, are on their own, making treatment decisions and leading a team.  ONCOLOGY® spoke with leading clinicians as well as those who are just beginning their careers about this time, and how they handled studying while experiencing personal and professional changes. Eric K. Singhi, MD, assistant professor in the Department of General Oncology, Division of Cancer Medicine, and assistant professor in the Department of Thoracic/Head and Neck Medical Oncology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, focused on: ·      His transition from fellow to attending (0:58) ·      Where students should focus their efforts on studying (2:11) ·      Advice he would give to those currently studying (2:47) Nicholas James Hornstein, MD, PhD, assistant professor at Northwell Health Cancer Institute, discussed:  ·      Studying for the boards while balancing a new career (3:18) ·      Specific study areas the exam focuses on (5:43) Marc J. Braunstein, MD, associate professor in the Department of Medicine at NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine, fellowship program director in hematology/oncology at NYU Langone Health - Long Island, and codirector of the Hematology-Oncology System at NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine, highlighted: ·      How to prepare fellows for the career transition (7:11) ·      Advice he gives about this transition (8:17) Nerea M. Lopetegui-Lia, MD, assistant professor in the College of Medicine at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center-The James, spoke about: ·      Best review practices for the exam (9:01) ·      Advice she would give to those studying (10:15) MinhTri Nguyen, MD, a medical oncologist with Stanford Medicine, focused on:  ·      As a leadership coach, helping prepare residents/fellows for the career transition (11:36) ·      Advice he would give to those studying (14:34)

One of the key aspects of one's neuroendocrine cancer care is building your medical team, which typically includes a medical oncologist. In this episode, Medical Oncologist Dr. Sandy Kotiah from Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore expounds on the role of a medical oncologist. She sheds light on the first appointment, communication, and care coordination. TOP TEN QUESTIONSWhat is your role in the neuroendocrine cancer world? What is your role with your medical team?What is a medical oncologist? What training is involved? Is a medical oncologist the same thing as a hematologist oncologist? What's the difference between a medical oncologist & surgical oncologist (& radiation oncologist)?What is a NET expert and how does someone become a NET expert?When I'm looking for a NET expert, what type of doctor am I looking for? How do I know if I'm with a “NET expert”? If I call a medical institution, will I automatically get assigned to a “NET expert?” If someone tells me they are a “NET expert,” does that mean that person is a NET expert?What can I expect on my first appointment? What type of information do you try to communicate with your patients during the first appointment? Newly diagnosed patients often come to their first appointment feeling scared and overwhelmed. They wonder “how long do I have,” worry about how fast the cancer is growing, and are unsure of what to tell their family and friends. How do you address these concerns?What questions should I be asking my oncologist?When/how often should I see my medical oncologist? Who goes over my scan results with me? When does that happen/How soon after a scan should I expect results? Who communicates the tumor board discussions?How is care coordinated with other providers on my team within the same institution? How is care coordinated with other providers from different institutions (i.e. with a local oncologist and a NET expert)?What happens if someone wants a second opinion? How do you feel about second opinions?How do I navigate or work through a situation in which there are differing opinions between doctors? If I have a question, concern, or symptoms, who do I communicate with and what's the best way to communicate? What if we “run out of time” during an appointment? What if it's a question or concern I'm shy about communicating?Some people struggle with trust because of past experiences with providers who might have ignored or minimized their symptoms. What advice do you have to help build trust with my doctor? What would you say is my responsibility as a patient and your responsibility as the oncologist? If there is one thing you would like all people living with neuroendocrine cancer to know, what would it be?For more information, visit NCF.net.

This featured podcast includes a discussion with 3 experts on managing patients with hormone receptor–positive/HER2-negative (HR+/HER2–) metastatic breast cancer (mBC) from a satellite symposium held in conjunction with the 42nd Annual Miami Breast Cancer Conference® in March 2025. In observational studies of treatment patterns in older women with mBC, approximately half of the patients were undertreated, and only half received a CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i)-based regimen in the first-line setting. Reasons for undertreatment include concerns about the patient's age, perceived frailty, and underlying health issues. Aging is a heterogeneous process; older patients must receive individualized treatment that is not based solely on their age but on a comprehensive assessment that objectively assesses their overall health and ability to tolerate treatment. This program is designed to help clinicians assess the fitness of older patients with HR+/HER2– mBC, review the efficacy and safety of CDK4/6i in this patient population, and individualize treatment decision-making appropriately.

The premise behind the Carnivore Diet is to eat to our biological design: exposing ourselves to the beneficial and essential nutrients, and removing the harmful exposures.  However there are more essential and beneficial exposures beyond just meat, and there are harmful exposures besides plant toxins.  This episode takes a closer look beyond the best ditary exposures to what are some of the best overall exposures for your health as well.  Enjoy! Dr. Petra Davelaar is a naturopathic doctor specializing in Deutenomic medicine—a field that explores the role of deuterium (a heavy isotope of hydrogen) in human health.
