EMERALD Trial: Elacestrant for ER+/HER2- Metastatic Breast Cancer

During a Case-Based Roundtable® event, Ian Krop, MD, and participants discussed considerations affecting first- and second-line treatment of metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer in the first article of a 2-part series.

In season 3, episode 3 of Targeted Talks, William J. Gradishar, MD, discusses the latest version of the NCCN Clinical Practice Guideline for managing early-stage breast cancer.

The phase 3 EMBER-3 trial showed imlunestrant improved PFS over SOC endocrine therapy in ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer with ESR1 mutations, though not significantly in the overall population.

In season 1, episode 3 of Targeted Talks, the importance of precision medicine in breast cancer, and how that vitally differs in community oncology compared with academic settings, is the topic of discussion.

An analysis of phase 3 trials found tamoxifen significantly reduced 15-year ipsilateral breast recurrence in patients with “good risk” DCIS treated without radiation therapy.

In the phase 3 EUROPA trial, exclusive postoperative radiation therapy led to better health-related quality of life and fewer treatment-related adverse events in older patients with stage I luminal-like breast cancer at 24 months.
