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

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.

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.

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)

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!
