⭐ HER2 early breast cancer: de-escalation with precision ⭐ An important @OncoAlert exclusive for #ASCO26 with Dr. @JavierCortesMD discussing PHERGain and PHERGain-2. 🚨🎗️ These studies speak to one of the most relevant questions in early HER2 breast cancer: Can we safely personalize treatment intensity and reduce chemotherapy exposure in selected patients? A chemotherapy-free, pCR-guided strategy with dual HER2 blockade is not just about response. It is about smarter treatment selection, less toxicity, preserving quality of life, and moving de-escalation from concept to carefully tested clinical strategy. 🧬🩺 Looking forward to this discussion with the OncoAlert Breast faculty. 🌍🤝 @ElisaAgostinett @to_be_elizabeth @WeOncologists @ErikaHamilton9 @E_de_Azambuja @matteolambe @DrSGraff @hoperugo @BianchiniGP @Icro_Meattini @Lucarecco @GaiaGriguolo @aftimosp @double_whammied @stage4kelly @coffeemommy @itsnot_pink @maryam_lustberg @IBCResearch @kevinpunie @nicolobattisti @raalbany @teamoncology @stolaney1 @LoiSher @SirohiBhawna @chemobrainfog @jamecancerdoc @JaniceTNBCmets @Prof_Nadia_H @paspears88 @MammaMiaMagazin @itrisabel @wearemedsir #OncoAlert #ASCO26 #BreastCancer #HER2Positive #CancerCare
An OncoAlert Exclusive at #ASCO26 Our OncoAlert #BreastCancer Faculty Dr. Javier Cortes presents the recent results of the PHERGain and PHERGain2 studies presented in Berlin for ESMO Breast. PHERGain-2 demonstrates that a chemotherapy-free, pCR-guided strategy can achieve high response rates in selected patients with early HER2-positive breast cancer. Dual HER2 blockade produced pCR rates near 60%, enabling treatment personalization, reducing chemotherapy exposure, preserving quality of life, and supporting further de-escalation of therapy in carefully selected patients.

OncoAlert 🚨 Coverage of DAY ONE of #EBCC15 Breast Cancer and Communication: Patient Insights from Serbia Presented by Sara Bojanic An online survey conducted by Europa Donna Serbia in late 2024 among 810 women diagnosed with breast cancer reveals significant gaps in communication between patients and healthcare professionals in Serbia. Despite respondents being largely well educated, more than half reported receiving only partial information, limited time for discussion, and an incomplete understanding of their diagnosis and treatment options, often prompting them to seek information elsewhere. While the information provided was generally perceived as helpful, many patients felt insufficiently informed and unable to ask questions. The findings highlight an urgent need for clearer, more patient‑centred communication, improved health communication skills among professionals, and stronger patient involvement across the breast cancer care pathway. #BreastCancer @itrisabel @JavierCortesMD @MIgnatiadis @MichaelGnant @Icro_Meattini @matteolambe @c_sotiriou @aftimosp @MOliveira_MD @CarmenCriscit @lab_kok @to_be_elizabeth @ElisaAgostinett @Lucarecco @FernandoOnco @GaiaGriguolo @JankovicK @acampsmalea @kevinpunie @CarmineDeA1 @LauBuisseret

OncoAlert 🚨 Coverage of DAY ONE of #EBCC15 RAPCHEM Study Presented by Dr Fleur Mauritz A ten-year study shows that tailoring radiotherapy after chemotherapy and surgery to a patient’s individual risk keeps breast cancer recurrence rates very low while potentially reducing side-effects. In 848 patients treated in the Netherlands, radiotherapy was adjusted based on whether cancer remained in the lymph nodes after treatment, allowing some low‑risk patients to receive minimal or no radiotherapy. After a decade of follow‑up, only 2.9% experienced a local or regional recurrence, with similarly low rates across low-, intermediate- and high‑risk groups. The findings suggest that carefully stratifying patients by response to chemotherapy can safely reduce overtreatment and support more personalised breast cancer care. For the final conclusion, we will have to wait for the results of a randomised trial from the USA, which are expected in three years. #BreastCancer @itrisabel @JavierCortesMD @MIgnatiadis @MichaelGnant @Icro_Meattini @matteolambe @c_sotiriou @aftimosp @MOliveira_MD @CarmenCriscit @lab_kok @to_be_elizabeth @ElisaAgostinett @Lucarecco @FernandoOnco @GaiaGriguolo @JankovicK @acampsmalea @kevinpunie @CarmineDeA1 @LauBuisseret

Improving equitable access to comprehensive care for people with advanced breast cancer: a global expert review and call-to-action for 2025–2035 (Goal 9) buff.ly/DDuvaTC Advanced #BreastCancer (ABC) remains treatable but incurable, and despite major therapeutic progress, global access to effective care is increasingly uneven. According to research for the ABC Global Alliance’s Global Decade Report 2.0, widening disparities in diagnostics, treatment infrastructure, drug supply, and reimbursement systems continue to delay and limit appropriate care, while high out-of-pocket costs create severe financial strain across all income levels. Nonetheless, collaborative, multi-stakeholder initiatives in low-resource settings are beginning to improve access. These findings have shaped the ABC Global Charter 2.0, which sets ten measurable goals for 2025–2035 to advance equity and outcomes for people living with ABC worldwide. @ABCGlobalAll @AlexEniu @runciecwc @GlopesMd @neciosup_silvia @nishapillayy @matteolambe @aftimosp @E_de_Azambuja @DrSGraff @ErikaHamilton9 @double_whammied @stage4kelly @coffeemommy @itsnot_pink @maryam_lustberg @IBCResearch @kevinpunie @nicolobattisti @raalbany @hoperugo @stolaney1 @LoiSher @JavierCortesMD @JaniceTNBCmets @Prof_Nadia_H @MammaMiaMagazin @itrisabel #OncoAlertAF @nataliagandur @acampsmalea @BRicciutiMD @FernandoOnco @ElisaAgostinett @to_be_elizabeth @bavilima @realbowtiedoc @Erman_Akkus @Lucarecco @GaiaGriguolo @JankovicK @JooMouta2 @MarioBalsaMD @DrMirallas @GIMedOnc @OscarTahuahua @UOzkerim @DrRishabhOnco @Onco_Cifu88
