This featured podcast includes a data review and candid conversation with 4 experts on challenges in the current treatment paradigm for hormone receptor–positive/HER2-negative (HR+/HER2–) metastatic breast cancer (mBC) due to endocrine resistance. This session occurred during a satellite symposium held in conjunction with the 42nd Annual Miami Breast Cancer Conference® in March 2025. ESR1 mutations are a critical mechanism of resistance, spurring the development of next-generation endocrine agents targeting these mutations. These agents including oral selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs) and agents with novel mechanisms, including proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs), which may offer potential improvements over current treatments. This program will review mechanisms of resistance to current endocrine regimens, strategies to overcome this resistance including comparative mechanisms of novel endocrine agents, emerging data from ongoing clinical trials, and expert perspectives on where these new agents may fit into current algorithms.
Send us a textWelcome to the latest Series of Supportive Care Matters, a podcast hosted by Medical Oncologist and International Cancer Survivorship Expert, Professor Bogda Koczwara AM.The landscape of cancer survivorship is evolving before our eyes. As treatment advances allow people with metastatic cancer to live longer, we're witnessing the emergence of a population that exists in what medical oncologist Dr Lori Spoozak calls "the place in between" – not curable but not actively dying.In this eye-opening conversation, researchers Associate Professor Nick Hart and Dr. Andrea Smith (who herself lives with metastatic breast cancer) explore the unique challenges faced by those living with advanced cancer. While survivorship programs have traditionally focused on post-treatment care, metastatic patients are typically on treatment for life, navigating constant healthcare interactions, accumulating side effects and facing the certainty rather than just the fear of disease progression.The discussion reveals how metastatic cancer patients have often fallen through the cracks – excluded from survivorship programs yet not appropriately served by palliative care services that focus primarily on end-of-life needs. This growing population faces what Dr. Smith describes as supportive care needs "on steroids" – intensified physical, psychological, financial and practical challenges that require specialised approaches.Hart and Smith share their ground-breaking work developing the first international standards for metastatic cancer survivorship care, now translated into 14 languages to guide implementation worldwide. They emphasise that improving care requires action on multiple fronts: better education for healthcare professionals, redesigned care models, dedicated peer support programs and recognition that survivorship care is everyone's responsibility rather than the domain of any single provider.Whether you're a healthcare professional, researcher, patient advocate or someone living with cancer, this conversation challenges conventional thinking about survivorship and offers a compelling vision for more inclusive, responsive care. Discover why supporting those living for years with incurable cancer represents both an urgent challenge and a tremendous opportunity to enhance quality of life for this overlooked population.Visit www.oncologynews.com.au for show notes and more information about Supportive Care Matters.This conversation is proudly produced by the Podcast Team at The Oncology Podcast, part of the Oncology Media Group Australia.

After living with a metastatic breast cancer diagnosis for many years, in 2020 Belinda was in a wheelchair, on oxygen and not expected to live. Facing her own mortality helped Belinda to realize what is most valuable in life… the ability to find peace in the middle of turmoil, the discovery of joy in the smallest of things, to be held in love, to allow ourselves to receive support, to listen to our own wisdom, and to live with meaning and purpose. Belinda has been 'back in harmony' since 2021. With a background in medical science and post-graduate training as a P.S.H. therapist, Belinda drew from both science and spirituality as part of an integrated approach to recovering her wellbeing. Gently healing her own emotional memory was a significant part of Belinda's recovery.

At the 2024 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, Dr. Aditya Bardia, director of the Breast Oncology Program and Translational Research Integration at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, presented results from the DESTINY-Breast06 study, showing that Enhertu (chemical name: fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki), also called T-DXd, was better than chemotherapy for metastatic, hormone receptor-positive, HER2-low or -ultralow breast cancer that grew after one or more hormonal therapy medicines. Listen to the episode to hear Dr. Bardia explain: results of the study what HER2-low and -ultralow breast cancer is whether people diagnosed with metastatic hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer should have additional HER2 testing
Gillian Lichota is dedicated to radically challenging her stage four hormone receptor +, HER2- breast cancer prognosis. Shortly after enduring years of grueling infertility treatments and losing a second-trimester pregnancy, Gillian was elated to find out she was pregnant again. The joy was short-lived, however, as she was soon diagnosed with stage three pregnancy-related breast cancer. The dream she had of becoming a mother was quite literally going to kill her. Gillian endured several rounds of chemotherapy and a mastectomy while pregnant. After the safe delivery of her son, she continued with more chemotherapy, radiation, and multiple surgeries until she was deemed to be in remission. Remission was short-lived. Breast cancer returned, metastasizing to her lungs. Facing imminent death revealed profound truths about living. The thought of dying from an incurable disease brought Gillian newfound clarity and alignment, illuminating a path to be broken open and transformed so she can live her most authentic self. Today, Gillian remains committed to her wellbeing and is more than six years NED. Gillian is also the founder and CEO of the iRise Above Foundation, a non-profit US based organization dedicated to empowering, inspiring and supporting young women to cultivate an outstanding quality of life during and after breast cancer.
