One new frontier of cancer detection is emerging: metabolomics.

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.

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.

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.

Progression-free survival was superior with first-line maintenance of palbociclib in HR-positive, HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.
