Does the timing of neoadjuvant nivolumab initiation affect outcomes in early-stage triple-negative breast cancer?
A phase II study led by Dr. Sherene Loi explores this critical question.

Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: Neoadjuvant Nivolumab Initiation
The phase II Neo-N trial investigated the activity of two differing schedules of neoadjuvant nivolumab initiation—lead-in or concurrent—with 12 weeks of carboplatin and paclitaxel in patients with ear...

Dr. Janni reviews ongoing ctDNA trials w/de-escalation, escalation. Starts with historical perspective that attempts to use CT/body imaging for early disease recurrence did NOT improve overall survival, only increased detection of recurrence (lead time bias). #SGBCC2025

Many good things to say on this story @oncoalert.bsky.social @naturemedicine.bsky.social: 1) serious biomarker work from a pharma-sponsored trial👏👏 2) a tumor historically consid cold 🥶can respond to aPD1 🤩3) we need to redefine ER+ disease to enable personalized treatm✍️

🎈Adjuvant Atezo for fully resected #TNBC #breastcancer is of NO benefit. We’ll see soon results from SWOG trial in re post neoadjuvant (w/o IO). Exposure to antigen and draining LN seems v. important for ICB efficacy. @oncoalert.bsky.social #bcsm

➡️➡️ very exciting news for estrogen receptor + #breastcancer- a subset is very immunogenic - this data changes the way we think about T cell immunosurveillance in this BC subtype
👏👏👏
A Peter Mac international clinical trial led by @loisher.bsky.social has shown adding #immunotherapy drug nivolumab + chemo before surgery can dramatically improve #breastcancer cure rates.
