Different reliance on ER signalling for replication and disease heterogeneity

🔬 I’ll be at #ASCO25 to discuss the differential genomic landscape of ER-low vs ER+ and ER- m+ #breastcancer. Join the conversation at Poster Board 50 on 6/2/25, 9:00 AM–12:00 PM! #bcsm @danafarber.bsky.social @danafarbernews.bsky.social @ascocancer.bsky.social

Invasion of the ‘journal snatchers’: the firms that buy science publications and turn them rogue Study finds dozens of journals that have hiked their fees and started churning out papers after being acquired by small, recently formed companies.

Scientific publishers are under siege by distant buyers, flipping journals to #OpenAccess and raising APCs.

@Nature article explains the game:

“Education is one of the few forces powerful enough to break the cycle of #poverty. It gives children born into hardship the tools to rewrite their story—and shape a future of their own making.”

Global disparities in artificial intelligence-based mammogram interpretation for breast cancer: A scientometric analysis of representation, trends, and equity Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide.

If your business model is still selling algorithms, please stop. The accuracy of models is limited in time and space. The pursuit of generalizability is misguided. AI should be local, iterative, reflective and reflexive.

A big thank you to #LeoCeli and @mitcriticaldata.bsky.social for their consistent support in our research on AI #bias and disparities in breast cancer-related subfields. 🙏🧠

-> Model accuracy is limited in time and space. AI should be local, iterative, reflective and reflexive. The business model should be assisting health systems with creating, maintaining, curating, evaluating their data pipeline, and most importantly, their "learning pipeline".

3.we also observed #gender imbalance among first and last authors (male predominance), with #affiliations predominantly from high-income regions.

2.nearly all patient cohorts originated from high- #income countries, with no representation from low-income settings.

1.despite a ~300% increase in #AI-related publications between these periods, we found that only 0-25% of studies reported #race / #ethnicity data, with the majority of patients identified as Caucasian.

In our latest study, we identified 264 studies on AI-powered #mammography interpretation for #breastcancer detection out of 5774 in the two-year periods 2017-2018 and 2022-2023:

Merry Christmas to all. Health truly is our most precious gift - It’s not just a cliché. For some, this season means remembering a loved one, facing a tough diagnosis, starting a new treatment, or getting difficult scan results. My heart is with you. ❤️

Breakthrough law offers cancer patients in New York relief for 'scalp-cooling therapy' New York has become the first state in the country to require insurance coverage for what's called "scalp-cooling therapy," which can reduce hair loss for chemo patients.

🚨 NY Gov. Kathy Hochul signs bill mandating private insurers cover scalp cooling systems starting Jan 1, 2026. 👏 First state to do so—hopefully paving the way for universal access. #CancerCare #HealthEquity #bcsm

Great work showing half of patients with metastatic relapse after adjuvant abemaciclib have loss of estrogen expression.

Biopsy remains critical.

Post-hoc TAILORx analysis: In HR+/HER2-, LN- breast cancer w/ RS ≥31, anthracycline (T-AC) improved 5-year DRFI (96% vs 91%, aHR 0.32, p=0.009) and DRFS vs TC. Benefit strongest in tumors >2cm, increasing with RS

Results are alligned w/ other MammaPrint High 2 results

Join us in Row 10 to see our poster on outcomes in HER2+ & TNBC pts treated with neoadjuvant tx!

Key findings:
✅ pCR linked to better outcomes
✅ 3-yr RFS/OS varied by cT, cN, & subtype at dx
✅ In RD pts, cT, cN, & subtype stayed prognostic, but not in pCR pts (few events)

Thank you all for stepping by and chatting with me yesterday. Thanks to @dfcibreastonc.bsky.social , my mentor @stolaney1.bsky.social , and all the co-authors for this great opportunity 😊

Don’t miss #SABCS24 Clinical Controversies Session on: Omission of Axillary Staging in ER-Positive #BreastCancer - Implications on Adjuvant Therapies, where Dr. Elizabeth Mittendorf will discuss the current data.

Please join us for the poster session today at 12.30PM! Our work on patients who experienced recurrence on adjuvant abemaciclib is in Row 9, right in front of the exhibitors. We look forward to chatting with you! @sabcs.bsky.social @dfcibreastonc.bsky.social

Meet Chiara Corti, MD(@ccortimd.bsky.social)! She came to Dana-Farber from IEO and the Università degli Studi di Milano. Now a #DFCIAdvancedFellow her research focuses on optimizing #BreastCancer treatment via tumor & microenvironment profiling and leveraging AI to streamline clinical operations.

Biomarker analyses of KN-522 shows most markers (T-cell GEP, HRD, HER2 signaling, PTEN, TNBC subtype) were prognostic but not predictive

High TMB showed a signal for pembro benefit, but only in 8% of pts

Predictive biomarkers for ICI in early TNBC are urgently needed!
