    Translational Science Forum II: Exploiting mechanisms of response to improve ICI outcomes

    Better understanding of how tumor cells respond to immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) is revealing new approaches to predict and improve treatment response.

  • Updated monarchETrial data shows abemaciclib continues to benefit patients with high-risk, HR-positive, HER2-negative, early-stage breast cancer

    Updated monarchETrial data shows abemaciclib continues to benefit patients with high-risk, HR-positive, HER2-negative, early-stage breast cancer

    Extended follow-up data from the phase III monarchE trial showed that adding the CDK inhibitor abemaciclib to standard adjuvant endocrine therapy continued to improve invasive disease-free survival among patients with high-risk, node-positive, early-stage, HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.

  • Omitting radiation therapy after breast-conserving surgery may not impact 10-year survival rates for older patients with HR-positive breast cancer

    December 10, 2020

    Omitting radiation therapy after breast-conserving surgery may not impact 10-year survival rates for older patients with HR-positive breast cancer

    Older patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer who did not receive radiation therapy after breast-conserving surgery had higher rates of local recurrence but similar 10-year survival rates when compared to patients who received postoperative radiation therapy, according to updated 10-yeardata from the PRIME II study.
