“Do, or do not. There is no try”
A taxonomy of the factors contributing to the overtreatment of cancer patients at the end of life. What is the problem? Why does it happen? How can it be addressed?

RLY2608 is a mutant specific PIK3CA inhibitor sparing Wildtype Receptor.

2nd line PFS >11 months with fulvestrant.

Improved safety profile with low grade hyperglycemia, no rash, diarrhea, or oral sores.

Hoping this one moves forward!

At #SABCS24 LBA session - @LoiblSibylle on the PADMA trial comparing 1st line ET + Palbo vs Standard Mono-CT in High Risk HER2-/HR+ metastatic BC and indication for CT

⬆️TTF and PFS w/palbo+ET

Reassuring data supporting 1st line CDK4/6i+ET as SoC

My first takeaway from #SABCS24. The EMBER3 of new oral SERD imlunestrant vs fulvestrant or exemestane vs imlune+abemaciclib in HR+/HER2neg MBC. This study showed in II-line scenario that imlunestrant is superior to ET alone in ESR1mutant patients. AKA welcome to elacestrant 2 👇🏻

Finally out in @ESMO_Open the main findings of my #ESMO #Fellowship research project focused on the
identification of predictors of response and molecular changes induced by neoadjuvant chemotherapy and endocrine therapy in HR+/HER2- #breastcancer.
What did we find? A thread 🧵

Only 3 weeks to #SABCS24, a meeting that promises to significantly impact the way we treat breast cancer. It will feature phase 3 data with novel SERDs, novel ADCs, immunotherapy, ctDNA monitoring, important biomarker analyses & so much more. Here’s my top 10 abstracts list— see you in San Antonio!

Aneuploid cells were primarily associated w/luminal epithelial lineages and localized in ductal & lobular structures without apparent histopathological abnormalities. Suggests clonal expansions of aneuploid cells are a normal feature of healthy breast tissues. #BreastCancer

ACOG recommends starting mammography at age 40 for those at average breast cancer risk, due to a 2% annual increase in cases among women aged 40-49 from 2015 to 2019. This update aligns with other major health organizations, advising continued screening every 1 to 2 years.

Useful updated treatment algorithms for HR+ #breastcancer from @ilanaschlam.bsky.social

We had them on OncoTwitter, now we have it on #OncSky / #oncosky (still figuring out the best hashtag @erikahamilton9.bsky.social 😁)

Preferences for speed of access versus certainty of the survival benefit of new cancer drugs

Findings suggest many prefer waiting for more evidence of survival benefits, challenging the accelerated approval pathway for cancer drugs lacking clear survival advantages.

Ok let’s see how this app works. First post (taken from De Ashley Rubin, who I think is not on 🦋) very nice and helpful for researchers “lost in descriptionland”. I’ll use screenshots of her X thread.
