72. ESMO 2023 - Early Breast Cancer (Part 2)

Welcome back to Oncology for the Inquisitive Mind's ongoing coverage of ESMO 2023. In the spirit of a worldwide oncology conference, here we present results from three very exciting trials in the early breast phase. Will immunotherapy begin to carve out a niche in early, high-risk, ER-positive breast cancer? Can atezolizumab demonstrate a benefit in early TNBC, and expand its own territory? Is abemaciclib pulling away from its rivals in the treatment of high-risk, ER-positive breast cancer? Will managing early breast cancer eventually have a similar success rate to the management of diabetes? And, most importantly, is Michelangelo a better Ninja Turtle than Donatello? The answers to all these questions, and more, lie within.Studies discussed in this episode (subscription may be required):Adjuvant abemaciclib plus endocrine therapy for HR+, HER2-, high-risk early breast cancer: Results from a preplanned monarchE overall survival interim analysis, including 5-year efficacy outcomeshttps://esmocongress.esmo.org/esmo/esmo2023/en-GB/presentation/639087Event-free survival (EFS) analysis of neoadjuvant taxane/carboplatin with or without atezolizumab followed by an adjuvant anthracycline regimen in high-risk triple negative breast cancer (TNBC): NeoTRIP Michelangelo randomized studyhttps://esmocongress.esmo.org/esmo/esmo2023/en-GB/presentation/639109A randomized, double-blind trial of nivolumab (NIVO) vs placebo (PBO) with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET) ± NIVO in patients (pts) with high-risk, ER+ HER2− primary breast cancer (BC)https://esmocongress.esmo.org/esmo/esmo2023/en-GB/presentation/639073For more episodes, resources and blog posts, visit www.inquisitiveonc.comPlease find us on Twitter @InquisitiveOnc!If you want us to look at a specific trial or subject, email us at [email protected] courtesy of Taryn SilverMusic courtesy of Music Unlimited: https://pixabay.com/users/music_unlimited-27600023/Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only.
