Brain and Leptomeningeal Metastases
- Reveal Genomics: A new genomic test predicts overall survival and the risk of brain metastases in people with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer
- Breastcancer.org: A small study suggests that datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd; Datroway®) may help people with breast cancer that has spread to the leptomeninges live longer without their cancer growing if they had not previously received an antibody-drug conjugate (scroll to “Dato-DXd may help treat leptomeningeal disease”)
HER2+ MBC
- Breastcancer.org: Results from the HER2CLIMB-05 clinical trial show that adding tucatinib (Tukysa®) to standard treatments (trastuzumab (Herceptin®) and pertuzumab (Perjeta®)) increases progression-free survival by about 9 months (scroll to “Adding Tukysa…)
ER+, HER2- MBC
Triple Negative MBC
- MedPage Today: More than two-thirds of people with triple negative MBC responded to the bispecific antibody pumitamig plus chemotherapy
Support for Black Women
