HELEN-006 and neoCARHP asked the same question:
Do we still need carboplatin in HER2+ early breast cancer?
Two phase III trials.
Two different designs.
One consistent signal.
✓ HELEN-006: Carboplatin-free THP improved pCR versus TCHP
✓ neoCARHP: Carboplatin-free THP preserved pCR versus TCbHP with lower toxicity
Together, these studies suggest that the contribution of carboplatin may be smaller than previously assumed in the era of dual HER2 blockade.

A challenge is that we have no ideal neoadj regimen:
-carbo in TCHP may not improve pCR
-no mature EFS with THP alone
-T-DXd-THP highly active but not powered on EFS
My recommended approach is depicted in this figure.

The approval of T-DXd for the (neo)adjuvant treatment of HER2+ breast cancer will add an invaluable tool to our arsenal. Yet, in this era of right-sizing, not all patients require T-DXd treatment to be cured. Some thoughts in my recent JCO editorial. https://t.co/tKCgzzbdiq
🚨 ALERTA 🚨 uno de los Antihipertensivos más comunes, la Hidroclorotiazida, acaba de ser catalogada de Riesgo Clase 1 para Cáncer de Piel y Labios… si tu lo usas o tus pacientes, la mejor opción es cambiarlo por otro medicamento
lo mismo con el Voriconazol y el Tacrolimus…

It is with a very heavy heart to write this, Maple passed away last night. Maple has been my best friend over these past 12+ years and the bond we shared is indescribable. I feel so very lucky to have had her In my life. My heart aches. I love you Maple ❤️
Ayer, mi querida amiga @Dra_CVillarreal publicó en Lancet el retraso en la atención de mujeres con cáncer de mama, debido al COVID y el cambio estructural en el modelo de atención. Un espejo de como múltiples padecimientos crónicos se dejaron de atender. https://t.co/NSAyA8EkSJ
Si dejas una cámara fija apuntando a la Vía Láctea, puedes apreciar perfectamente la rotación de la Tierra.
Y por mucho que lo sepas, es fascinante verlo.
Genomic signatures provide comparable prognostic information in young women with breast cancer and their older counterparts. These tests serve as important tools to refine the treatment decision-making process.
@OmarOnco@BrizioMoreno@Dr_Ivanoncologo @Dra_Cynthia_V @anelcabrera@DrAntonioBahena We still do not have direct comparissons between CDK4/6i+F500 and CDK4/6+AI in randomized controlled trials. The results from this meta-analysis are very informative however I would also wait for the SONIA trial to draw conclusions.
