Endocrine Therapy Omission in Estrogen Receptor–Low (1%-10%) Early-Stage Breast Cancer PURPOSEAdjuvant endocrine therapy (ET) improves overall survival (OS) in estrogen receptor (ER)–positive early-stage breast cancer (BC). However, the benefit of ET for those with ER-low BC (ER 1%-10%)...

In a multivariable analysis, omitting ET was associated w/⬆️ risk of death HR 1.23; For ER 1%-5% HR 1.16; For ER 6%-10% HR 1.42

I missed this poll but this is a bit scary!!! 8 % said Ribociclib which is absolutely contraindicated and honestly I would be hesitant to start her on any cdk4/6 inhibitor with a QTc that high particularly given she is on seroquel. Speed dial to cardio-oncology! Education needed!

The Role of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy in Oligoprogressive Malignant Disease (RADIANT): Oncologic Outcomes From a Phase 2 Nonrandomized Controlled Trial In oligoprogressive (OP) cancer, there are a limited number of metastatic areas progressing on a background of stable or responding to widespread cancer. Although the standard of care for OP is changi...

Interesting endpoint and trial.

Few MBC patients treated and very small.

For oligoprogressive cancer,
SBRT could delay time to systemic therapy change.

This could could valuable for the right patient trying to delay time to chemotherapy.

#HELEN006 trial:
weekly nab-paclitaxel with trastuzumab & pertuzumab showed a higher pCR (66.3%) 🆚 docetaxel + carboplatin (57.6%) in HER2-positive #eBC, with fewer severe side effects.
A potential new standard for neoadjuvant therapy❓
