Carboplatin for early stage TNBC.
All trials in one slide . It
should be given to those who don't have acess to IO .
Those who can receive IO , further question is, if it can reduce anthracycline use . Good discussion @SABCSSanAntonio#SABCS2025@OncoAlert
I worry that the majority of that benefit is being driven by BRCA and PLAB2. Is this going to be your 1L for all HRRm? @neerajaiims@DrRanaMcKay@dr_yakupergun
PARPi have a good amount of side effects with very little benefit with certain HRR deficiencies. Love this slide by @AlanBryce9
🚨 GI Cancer Mortality to Double by 2050📊 ESMO GI 2025 shows sharp rise in deaths due to:
🔹 Colorectal: +103%
🔹 Pancreatic: +100%
🔹 Esophageal: +86%
🔹 Liver: +81%
🌍 Biggest increases in Asia & Africa
💡 Call to action: Early detection, access, equity.
Time for GI oncologist to collaborate and fight against this problem

⚡ Hypopharynx subgroup showed no clear benefit (tiny n).
⚡ OS still awaited.
New perioperative IO standard incoming?

When you treat metastatic CRPC in elderly person, polypharmacy and drug to drug interactions needs to noted . These are some common drug interactions with Abiraterone and Enzalutamide. Useful for clinical practice @OncoAlert @medicalwatchBC @OncBrothers@dr_yakupergun
Carcinoma of Unknown Primary: Cancer without a past
🧬 Early dissemination
🛡️Immune editing of the primary
🧪CK20+, CDX2+, SATB2+ → treat colon-like
🧭Let biology, not anatomy, guide therapy
Not a diagnostic failure — a metastatic strategy.

Real world data suggest that chemo (cape, eribulin, taxanes) outperforms a second topo1 ADC after progression on T-DXd. Key question to address in breast oncology (and across oncology fields!). #ESMOBreast25#esmoambassadors
CDK4/6 Rechallenge Trials: What Works? What Fails?
📢 published in @JCO_ASCO: PALMIRA Trial
❌ Rechallenging palbociclib post-progression shows no PFS benefit
In contrast:
🟢 MAINTAIN → Switching to ribociclib improves PFS
🟢 postMONARCH → Switching to abemaciclib improves PFS
Key takeaway: Switching CDK4/6 inhibitors post-progression offers better outcomes than rechallenging with the same agent. What do u do ? Switch or Rechallenge?

Uncommon EGFR mutations in NSCLC often fly under the radar.

The 19th St. Gallen Conference took place this week in Vienna. Nearly 80 expert panelists voted on key debated topics in breast oncology, selected by @DrHBurstein & @curijoey. Here’s 10 key results from the #SGBCC2025 consensus voting, divided by topic/breast cancer subtype.
🚨Thrilled to share our Burkitt lymphoma/leukemia study in @BloodCancerJnl. Massive effort(n=265) from @HCC_HemeCancer. MTX & EPOCH protocols equally effective overall, but MTX outperforms in CSF+ & BM+ cases. Valuable insights for treatment decisions! https://t.co/vg8633gLc2
