📢1/8 A subset of ER+/HER2- #breastcancer may benefit from #immunotherapy, but which tumors are these?🤔 Our latest study just out on @BrJCancer @SpringerNature sheds light on this highly relevant topic Read more:📌rdcu.be/dqys9 @BianchiniGP @mauricallari

Our review on the challenges and evidence gaps in treating premenopausal women with HR+/HER2− early #BreastCancer is now officially published in @Annals_Oncology @myESMO 📌doi.org/10.1016/j.annonc.202… Many thanks again to all co-authors for this collaborative effort!
🧵 HR+/HER2− early breast cancer in young women: evidence is growing, but many treatment decisions remain uncertain. In our new @Annals_Oncology review, we provide a pragmatic framework to navigate these grey areas—highlighting what we know and what we still don’t know. A few key questions 👇 kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrac…

2/ Ovarian function suppression: who really needs it? OFS improves outcomes, particularly in higher-risk disease, but comes with substantial toxicity. The challenge is how to tailor its intensity and duration to individual recurrence risk and patient priorities.

📣Another step forward for #precision_immunotherapy in breast cancer! 🚀Just out in @Nature_NPJ Breast Cancer our exploratory analysis of the NeoTRIP trial showing the role of tumor-specific MHC-II as a predictor of immunotherapy benefit in #TNBC. 📌rdcu.be/eIKAH

🚨Just out in @CCR_AACR our analysis on the recurrence timing after neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy in early-stage TNBC We analyzed 5 major trials 👉 Early relapse: up to 83% of all recurrences🤯 1/ 🧵 Why this matters 👇 🔗 Full article: doi.org/10.1158/1078-0432.CC…

2/🧵 💊 Trials analyzed: KEYNOTE-522, IMpassion031, NeoTRIP, GeparNuevo, NSABP B59/GeparDouze 📊 Recurrence rates by 48m: 14–29% ⏱️ Of those, ~65–83% were early (< 24m from random) 🔥 In patients with residual disease: early relapse up to 89%!

Just out on @JAMANetworkOpen our study on the fate of immunotherapy trials in breast cancer, led by @mariani_m97 Take a look at the terrific job and excellent tweetorial he did 👏 @BianchiniGP @SanRaffaeleMI @OncoAlert
Excited to share our latest publication on @JAMANetworkOpen : "Completion rate and positive results reporting among immunotherapy trials in breast cancer, 2004-2023.” #BreastCancerResearch @OncoAlert @SanRaffaeleMI 👇Check out some key insights below

1/3 📢 The largest study (N=1,133) on the real‐world use of multigene assays in early #breastcancer conducted after the availability of data from TAILORx, RxPONDER, and MINDACT trials is just out on Breast Cancer Res Treat rdcu.be/dwSa7 @BianchiniGP

2/3 Some interesting findings: 🌟Oncotype DX was the test used in 97% of cases 👌👌 🌟About 40% of pts with G3 tumors and Ki67>30% had a low RS ✅ 🌟Despite Guidelines recommendation, 42% of N+ pts who received a genomic test prescription were 50 years oldor younger😳

Not all ER+/HER2- BC may benefit from immunoTx. 🌟Biomarker analyses of KN-756 and CheckMate7FL studies at @SABCS provide key contribution to #PrecisionImmunology in BC and corroborate our data: Tumors with ⬇️ER benefit the most. Read more 👉rdcu.be/dqys9 @BianchiniGP

A subset of ER+/HER2- #breastcancer may benefit from #immunotherapy, but which? Grade 3 alone (as in KN-756 & CM-7FL) is not such a precise selector. Our study proposes a different & more precise way to identify these tumors. 📌 Read more: rdcu.be/dqys9 @BianchiniGP

Excellent presentation by @BianchiniGP at @myESMO 2023 congress on precision immunology in #breastcancer The integration of several biomarkers into a single “cancer immunogram” is the key. If interested, take a look at our review in @TheBreastOnline thebreastonline.com/action/s…

(2/5) We asked 16 breast oncologists in 🇮🇹 and 🇺🇸to provide 💊 recommendation (CHEMO/ET vs ET only) for real-world clinical cases twice: 1. based on clinicopathologic features only (pre-RS) 2. with also Oncotype DX result (post-RS) 👇👇👇
