Miguel Martín, MD, PhD, on Metastatic Breast Cancer: PEARL Trial on Palbociclib Plus Endocrine Therapy vs Capecitabine

2019 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium

Advertisement

Miguel Martín, MD, PhD, of the Gregorio Marañón Institute and GEICAM, discusses phase III study findings that showed no improvement in progression-free survival with palbociclib plus endocrine therapy vs capecitabine in patients with hormone receptor–positive/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer whose disease progressed on aromatase inhibitors—although the drug combination was generally better tolerated than capecitabine (Abstract GS2-07).

Jack Cuzick, PhD, of Queen Mary University of London, discusses the substantially greater benefits of anastrozole as compared with tamoxifen in terms of preventing breast cancer, with no increase in fractures or other reported serious side effects (Abstract GS4-04).

Milan Radovich, PhD, on ctDNA After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Recurrence in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Milan Radovich, PhD, of Indiana University School of Medicine, discusses trial findings that show patients with triple-negative breast cancer who are at high risk of relapse after receiving preoperative chemotherapy can be risk-stratified based on the presence of minimal residual disease as determined by circulating tumor DNA and circulating tumor cells (Abstract GS5-02).

Nadine M. Tung, MD, of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, discusses cisplatin vs doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide (AC) as neoadjuvant treatment in BRCA-mutation carriers with HER2-negative breast cancer. Although cisplatin as a single agent shows activity in this setting, the pathologic complete response with this agent alone is not higher than that with standard AC chemotherapy (Abstract GS6-03).

Icro Meattini, MD, of the University of Florence, discusses study findings that showed the less-invasive partial-breast irradiation using intensity-modulated radiotherapy after surgery may be an acceptable choice for patients with early breast cancer, as it is cost-effective, safe, and efficacious when compared with whole-breast irradiation (Abstract GS4-06).
