Expert discussed the potential of pelareorep, a novel immunotherapeutic agent, in treating advanced or metastatic breast cancer.

Despite self-reported improvements in cognitive function, neuropsychological tests showed little differences between 2 patient groups.

In a study, RK-33 demonstrated positive effects against the protein DDX3, which is key in the growth of cancer cells and spreading of disease.

A breast-level artificial intelligence score may be able to estimate the risk of future breast cancer, allowing for patients to take preventative measures.

Patients in persistently impoverished areas were also more likely to have more aggressive tumor characteristics and receive more invasive surgeries.

The accelerated course was safe and effective and did not increase complications in patients with breast cancer post-mastectomy undergoing breast reconstruction.

Study results showed that Black women with breast cancer were more likely to die across all subtypes, with the disparity varying from 17% to 50% depending on subtype.

Compared with chemotherapy, datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) did not achieve a statistically significant overall survival (OS) in patients with inoperable or metastatic HR+/HER2-low or negative breast cancer.

Using ultrasound and clinicopathological characteristics, the studied nomograms effectively evaluated recurrence risk in HR-/HER2+ and HR+/HER2+ breast cancer.

Patients with for HER2-positive breast cancer have an increased risk of developing brain tumors.

Pembrolizumab is an anti-programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) therapy designed to increase the immune system’s ability to detect and fight tumor cells.

The treatment significantly reduced risk of occurrence by 25% compared with endocrine therapy alone.

Data from the second interim analysis of the DETECT V trial, presented at ESMO Congress 2024, suggest that a chemotherapy-free regimen combining dual HER2-targeted therapy with endocrine therapy, particularly with the addition of ribociclib, may be an effective treatment for patients.

Overall survival results from the phase 3 KEYNOTE-522 study provide evidence of improved long-term outcomes from this pembrolizumab-based regimen.

The gut and intratumoral microbiota influence cancer development, progression, and treatment responses, highlighting the potential for treatment strategies that leverage these microbial interactions to enhance cancer therapies.

Disparities continue in younger patients, raising the need for novel interventions to mitigate challenges associated with younger age at diagnosis.

The study authors suggest that annual screening for women aged 40 and older may be beneficial, but warn of the increased risk of false positive results.

The authors stress that health care providers should explain false positive results to their patients, reassure them that results may be negative, and stress the significance of continued screenings.
