2025 ASCO Annual Meeting

Neil M. Iyengar, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, reviews several studies that aimed to answer two questions: does menopausal hormone therapy (HRT) impact overall survival and breast cancer–specific mortality in younger women diagnosed with high-risk disease (Abstract 10506); and do GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), a class of weight-loss medications, have cancer risk reduction properties (Abstracts 10507 and 10508).

Martin Reck, MD, PhD, of LungenClinic Grosshansdorf, Germany, discusses data from the phase III AEGEAN trial that studied perioperative durvalumab and neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Patients who were MRD-positive after surgery had significantly worse disease-free survival compared to MRD-negative patients. In addition, mutations in KEAP1 and KMT2C were associated with MRD positivity and reduced benefit from the regimen, identifying a small high-risk subgroup with poor prognosis (Abstract 8009).
