Jun 23rd, 2022 - Key clinical point: In estrogen receptor-positive (ER+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2−) breast cancer (BC) neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) should be considered to enable axillary conservation in patients aged <50 years with Ki67 ≥20%. Major finding: Both Ki67 ≥20% (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.

Jun 23rd, 2022 - Key clinical point: Patients with breast cancer (BC) treated with standard chemotherapy during pregnancy show comparable prognosis to young nonpregnant patients with BC, supporting chemotherapy initiation in pregnant women with BC as indicated. Major finding: Median follow-up was 66.

Jun 23rd, 2022 - Key clinical point: Etirinotecan pegol failed to prolong survival compared with chemotherapy in patients with metastatic breast cancer (BC) and stable pretreated brain metastases (BM). Major finding: The median overall survival (hazard ratio [HR] 0.

Jun 23rd, 2022 - Key clinical point: Adjuvant breast intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in the prone vs. supine position was less toxic in women with large breast size and early-stage breast cancer (BC) who underwent breast-conserving surgery (BCS).

Jun 23rd, 2022 - Key clinical point: Elacestrant significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) compared with standard-of-care (SOC) endocrine monotherapy in previously treated patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2−) metastatic breast cancer (BC) with a manageable safety. Major finding: Elacestrant vs.

Jun 23rd, 2022 - Key clinical point: In patients with high-risk operable breast cancer (BC) and without diabetes, adding metformin to standard BC treatment did not improve the invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) rate, regardless of estrogen receptor/progesterone receptor (ER/PgR) status. Major finding: The incidence rates of iDFS events were similar between the metformin and placebo groups in patients with ER.

Jun 23rd, 2022 - Key clinical point: The combination of camrelizumab, apatinib, and eribulin demonstrated a favorable efficacy and a manageable safety profile in patients with heavily pretreated advanced triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Major finding: The objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate, and median progression-free survival in the overall cohort were 37.

Jun 23rd, 2022 - Key clinical point: Adding denosumab to anthracycline/taxane-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) did not improve pathological complete response (pCR) rates, but a weekly vs. every-3-week nanoparticle albumin-bound ( nab)-paclitaxel regimen improved pCR rates in patients with early breast cancer (BC), although the toxicity was higher.
