After discussion about pros & cons of the available options, 🤝 patient agrees to pursue 1L treatment with a PARP-Inhibitor.

🤨 Which PARPi would you choose, given the available data and prior experience with adjuvant ChT?

In ten days, the presentation of DB-04 may redefine the way we classify and treat breast cancer.

Here’s ten HER2-low facts you need to know before attending the ASCO Plenary Session:
1/10 About half of all BCs have HER2-low expression, defined as HER2 IHC 1+ or 2+/ISH-.

The rate of HER2-low tumors depends however on the expression of ER:
- TNBC: 40% HER2-low
- Moderate ER-exp: 45-55% are HER2-low
- Highly ER-exp: >60% are HER2-low

oncologypro.esmo.org/meeting-resour…
2/10 HER2-low expression is not associated with major biologic differences (vs. HER2-0). Most HR+ breast tumors are luminal and most TNBCs are basal-like at PAM50, regardless of HER2-low expression

A significant fraction of patients with HER2+ MBC achieve long lasting responses to HER2-blockade, with no evidence of disease for many years after Tx start

Are these patients cured? Can we increase this fraction?

A 🧵 on our latest JAMA Onc review: jamanetwork.com/journals/jamao…

1/6
Several aspects are associated w/ a long-lasting response to HER2-blockade

Important clinical features are de-novo presentation, low burden of dz & achievement of CR. Highly HER2+, immune inflamed tumors w/ no detrimental gene muts are more likely to achieve long responses

2/6
Recently emerging drugs and tools may further expand the rate of long-term responders

T-DXd, achieved 16% CR in DB03, and is currently being tested in 1L (DB09). Integration with IO, advancements in ablative treatments & ctDNA assessment also promise to help in this sense

☕️ Since I’ve been seeing a lot of debate in the field lately, I’ve decided to provide a set of Guidelines for the management of a good 🇮🇹 coffee

1️⃣st - get a Moka. Better if an old one: just as wine, it gets better with the passing of time. Wash the Moka. Open the Moka.

[1/5]
2️⃣nd - Pour some water in the Moka. The right amount.

If you put too much, you get colored water 💧 . If you put to little, you’ve got no coffee to offer to other people. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Best is to reach just under the tiny valve. No rocket science.

[2/5]
3️⃣rd - I call this step “The Everest”.

In short, put on the filter as much coffee as it fits. Then you add some more. And then some more.

❌DO NOT PRESS.
Coffee doesn’t like to get pressed. Nobody does.

Just make it gently fall from above, & make the mountain appear ⛰

In questi giorni stiamo assistendo all’approvazione dei primi vaccini per il #COVID19.

Tuttavia, si parla meno di un’altro grande traguardo scientifico, che permetterà in futuro di ridurre sostanzialmente l’utilizzo di chemioterapia adiuvante nel carcinoma mammario.

[Thread]
Circa 50 anni fa, due ricercatori italiani (Bonadonna e Veronesi) conducevano uno storico studio clinico, dimostrando al mondo che somministrare chemioterapia dopo la rimozione di un tumore mammario poteva ridurre sostanzialmente il rischio di recidiva di malattia.

1/
50 anni dopo, la chemioterapia adiuvante è ancora uno standard terapeutico nel tumore mammario operabile.

Molti parametri vengono utilizzati per capire se una donna possa trarre beneficio dalla chemio. Uno dei parametri più importanti è il coinvolgimento linfonodale.
