🎥 TBT in a video: HR+ #mBC tx has changed significantly, esp in 2L setting.

Check out this SHORT video w algorithm to approach tx after progression on CDK4/6i:

A bigger and bigger role for 🎯 medicine to select next best therapy!

Case🎀

📷 TBT in an image: Selecting CDK4/6i involves shared decision making! Things to keep in mind:

🔹OS benefit seen with ribociclib, but not palbo.
🔹Different toxicity profiles
🔹Medication interactions (QTc prolongation w ribo+ tamoxifen!) Image

🎥 TBT in a video
New 1L T-DXd option for patients w #mBC (HER2 low, ER/PR-).

T-DXd is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC), tethering deruxtecan payload to HER2 ab. Improvements over chemo in mOS and PFS, but watch carefully for ILD and all toxicities!

Check out quick proposed tx algorithm for HR+ & HR- HER2 low disease. Since HER2 low is defined as 1+ through 2+ on IHC with - FISH, up to ‼️60%‼️ of cases previously called HER2 NEGATIVE are actually HER2 LOW! Image

ER+/PR-/HER2 low met #BreastCancer
Since 2016: 3 lines of endocrine therapy including AI+CDK 4/6 inhibitor ➡️ Fulvestrant ➡️ Everolimus+exemestane
No actionable mutation

2021*: Started on capecitabine for 8 months until POD
2022: Switched to paclitaxel for 5 months ➡️ POD in the liver and pleura

📌What is HER2-low?

🔸Traditionally HER2-positive and HER2-negative were separate entities
🔸NOW, HER2-low is a separate entity 👉🏽 1+ or 2+ on IHC and ISH negative‼️

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

It's Friday evening. And today is the day where I've been patient-involved one too many times. So all of you patient-at-the-heart-of-all-we-dos, this is for you 🧵
I got into patient advocacy because #Melanoma killed my husband in a horrific way. And the healthcare system overall, in particular the clinical trials that were his only option, only added to the insult.
He died barely 37. I was 35. Our daughters 4 and 6. The time between his diagnosis and his death- and the time after- were horrendous. Looking back, I'm not quite sure how I managed. But I DID manage.

This is NOT a reason to choose Medical Aid in Dying. You haven’t run out of options. I STRONGLY suggest talking to someone and working on your #Mentalhealth

*I am NOT making light of this tweet*

I was in the same headspace not too long ago. Please read this @LibbyMbc
Following the deaths of VERY close #MBC friends, coupled with the pandemic, I felt the same way you do now. I was deeply depressed. My #palliativecare team had me speak with a therapist who specializes in people w Cancer.

Mind you I was already on an antidepressant....
I gave her every reason I rationalized why giving up was the answer. My son was old enough -he didn’t “need me” I would end up a burden. My parents are older- It would be easier if I wasn’t “a problem” My husband would be happier w/o me. At the time these were VALID in my head

@BalkaurDhillon @ashokgehlot51 सर,मेरा सवाल भी पूछना,#MBC की छात्राओं को पूर्ववर्ती 'देवनारायण स्कूटी वितरण एवं प्रोत्साहन योजना' के तहत मिलने वाली प्रोत्साहन राशि ₹10,000 प्रति वर्ष स्नातक 2nd &3rd year एवं ₹20,000 प्रति वर्ष परास्नातक को नवीन योजना 'कालीबाई भील स्कूटी योजना' के अनुसार हटा दिया गया है 1/2
@BalkaurDhillon @ashokgehlot51 इससे छात्राओं को प्रत्यक्ष तौर पर आर्थिक रूप से परेशान होना पडेगा और इससे उनके भविष्य पर इसका प्रतिकूल प्रभाव पड़ेगा ।

This is treatment for #MBC:
1) Patient with new metastatic disease. Evidence-based treatment recommended.
2) All documentation collected and submitted with with published evidence as part of Prior authorization.

Aggregate provider time: 35 min
3) Patient called insurance to expedite request. Told to have medical team call.
4) Team calls insurance. Insurance 'mis-coded' original treatment, thus cancelling. Need new submission.
5) New submission completed w all requested documentation

Aggregate provider time: 1hr 15 min
6) Team called insurance. Insurance required re-confirmation of the same documentation. Again.
7) Request cannot be escalated without additional documentation
8) Additional documentation faxed.

Aggregate provider time: 1hr 45 min

Amy Treadway should be VERY ashamed of herself right now.
She used a #MetastaticBC womans' death to promote an organization that FAILED her and the thousands before her. 1/10 #bcsm
Fact: Wendy had a TREATABLE kind of TNBC.
Fact: She found it HERSELF the way many women like her do.
Fact: Wendy was NED before her recurrence to Stage 4
2/10 #bcsm
Amy ignores all of that. She instead focuses on the same crap everyone has heard for over 30yrs yet hasn't moved the needle in the right direction.
