2019 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium

Terry P. Mamounas, MD, MPH, of Orlando Health UF Health Cancer Center, discusses 10-year results from NRG Oncology/NSABP B-42, which showed that, for postmenopausal women with hormone receptor–positive breast cancer who have completed previous adjuvant therapy with an aromatase inhibitor or with tamoxifen followed by an aromatase inhibitor, extended treatment with letrozole improved disease-free survival (Abstract GS4-01).

Icro Meattini, MD, on Breast Irradiation After Breast-Conservation Surgery: 10-Year Follow-up Results

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).

Joseph Sparano, MD: The William L. McGuire Memorial Lecture

Joseph Sparano, MD, of the Montefiore Medical Center, discusses three challenges:

  • How can gene-expression profiles and other diagnostic tests be used to guide the use of adjuvant systemic therapy?
  • Is it time to reappraise active surveillance?
  • Are there diagnostic and therapeutic strategies that can identify tumors at highest risk of metastasis, and novel therapies that can block the spread of disease?

Hongchao Pan, PhD, on an Update on 5 Years of Endocrine Therapy for Early Breast Cancer

Hongchao Pan, PhD, of the University of Oxford, discusses an analysis of 86,000 women in the Early Breast Cancer Trialists’ Collaborative Group database, which showed that the risk of distant recurrence 20 years after a diagnosis of node-negative, estrogen receptor–negative early-stage breast cancer in women who discontinued endocrine therapy at 5 years is likely to be about a third lower now than in his group’s previous report (Abstract GS2-04).

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).
