    An Introduction to Breast Cancer

    New perspectives in cancer therapy have led to rapid progress in breast cancer research. Some of the most exciting recent developments include ongoing studies aiming to enhance current breast cancer screening options, as well as approval of several poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. Other areas of active research include histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies.

    Capivasertib + paclitaxel for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer did not meet threshold for improving overall survival
    Heather McArthur Watch Time: 5.34 minutes

    The phase III CAPItello-290 trial assessed the combination of capivasertib (C) with paclitaxel (P) as a first-line treatment for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer compared to paclitaxel plus placebo. A total of 812 patients were enrolled, with 30.7% showing PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alterations. While progression-free survival slightly favoured the C+P combination, the primary endpoint of overall survival was […]

    Trastuzumab deruxtecan shows clinical benefit in patients with HER2-ultralow metastatic breast cancer
    Giuseppe Viale Watch Time: 7:20

    he DESTINY-Breast06 (DB-06) trial explored the effectiveness of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-low or HER2-ultralow metastatic breast cancer (mBC). Patients were screened for HER2 status and randomized to receive either T-DXd or treatment of the physician's choice (TPC). Results showed that T-DXd significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) compared to TPC, across various HER2 classifications.
