Single-cell spatial analysis may help predict response to neoadjuvant immunotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer

Dec 15, 2021

A next-generation technology allows the study of protein expression at the single-cell level and the location of the cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME). In the NeoTRIPaPDL1 trial, it provid...

Addition of adjuvant palbociclib to standard endocrine therapy does not improve outcomes in patients with early HR-positive breast cancer

Dec 15, 2021

Although adjuvant therapy with CDK4/6 inhibitors has shown to benefit patients with advanced/metastatic HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer, the final analysis of the PALLAS trial shows no benefit...

Using genomics to match treatments improves outcomes for certain patients with metastatic breast cancer

Dec 15, 2021

Loss of ASXL1 tumor suppressor promotes resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors.

Dec 15, 2021

The pathways leading to CDK4/6 inhibitor resistance are not yet clear. Using a technique called ‘accelerated mutagenesis’, researchers unraveled the role of ASXL1 loss. Initial findings in ER-posi...

Black women are more likely to develop lymphedema following breast cancer treatment

Dec 15, 2021
