🤨 Poll: What percent of all people diagnosed with #BreastCancer carry a germline BRCA 1 and/or 2 mutation?

🤔Are there features that might make you more likely to suspect a patient is a mutation carrier?

Thurs Case🎀

Take🏠messages:

✅3 agents (pembro, atezo, cempilimab) 👍🏽PD-L1 TPS >50% in 1L
– No head to head ICI comparisons
✅OS BETTER w IO alone vs chemo
✅💰tox huge problem!

Thurs Case🎀

Key factors to choose ICI (in absence of head to head trials):
- Pt experiences/preferences
- Dosing schedule
- $$$ toxicity

The good news: across 3 separate agents (pembrolizumab, atezolizumab, cemiplimab) OS is BETTER w IO alone vs chemo Image

Thurs Case🎀

Take🏠messages

✅BRCAm= 10-20% of TNBC!
✅PD-L1 CPS>10= PFS & OS benefit w/ IO in mTNBC
✅PARPi= PFS benefit
✅Biomarkers, side effects, pt pref key

Thursday Case🎀

How do you choose IO vs PARPi in #TNBC w #BRCA mutation? Check out the summary and algorithm below!
Important to know there are more 2L options as well, including sacituzumab-gov & other ADCs. New trials evaluating IO+ PARPi–stay tuned!

Take🏠messages:
We discussed #EGFR mutations in #LungCancer
✅Not all EGFR mutations are the same!
✅Osimertinib=tx for most activating EGFR mutations
✅…but exon20insmut more resistant to TKIs
✅Amivantamab, mobocertinib= 2L strategies

A stern warning about the risk of #cancer associated with alcohol

But 👇
@theNCI @Bill_Klein_NCI @pbjacobsen @JAMA_current @TheLancet 1. All this work relies on observational studies with drink diaries and shaky recall, and, at best, associations (not causality)
2. The naïve assumption is that all humans are equally responsive to #diet and beverage intake, which is reductionist and flawed 2/x

@SenSanders @ninaturner @fshakir @AriRabinHavt Why health insurance companies are awesome.🙄 A true story. Once upon a time there was a young woman with breast cancer. The first time she was diagnosed, she had three different health insurance companies due to employer made
changes of her now ex-husband. With each change came time spent by the patient and oncologist to update referrals and get approvals. The doctors and medical facilities would not allow treatment to continue without a letter from the new insurer with the second change in less
than twelve months because it would be over a month before the young woman had a medical insurance card. The day before the final chemo, the letter, finally, came. Fast forward two months to time for radiation therapy and the young woman gets a call that unless she pays
