Since our government will no longer recognize it, let me wish everyone happy Black History Month, and remind you that Black history is American history. We are a better nation because of diversity.

Let’s try this whole “word for the year” thing.
Between cancer/cancer advocacy stuff and the incoming administration, I think this one will serve me well.

Also for ER+ (b/c I’m still ER+) is DB06, where there was efficacy even in HER2 ultra low (seriously, where is TDXd (Enhertu) NOT effective - it crosses the BBB too! #SABCS24

Adding abema (which means adding 🏃♀️ 🚽 💩) was statistically significant in both mutant & wild type ESR1. Very, very few people in this trial stopped treatment. Shall we wager on when this is FDA approved? #SABCS24

Unfortunately, need a liver resection biopsy (surgery), not a needle or core biopsy to determine whether encapsulated or replacement, but MAYBE, after more research, molecular assessment (genomics, proteomics, etc) may be able to distinguish target therapies. #SABCS24

There can be co-existence of encapsulated and replacement growth, but in breast cancer liver mets the majority are of the replacement histology, which is more aggressive. #SABCS24

Dr @cittellylab.bsky.social’s
conclusions on brain mets in ER+ (MICE), and once again proud that @metavivor has funded her research! #SABCS24

Got to this session late (and can’t watch online and walk at the same time) but came in to this very interesting slide - ⬆️ brain mets in the aged 🐁 after long term estrogen deprivation. Can NOT extrapolate this to human 👵🏼!!! #SABCS24

Congratulations to DR Steffi Oesterreichs @oesterreichs on her AACR Award. She has done sooooo much for people with ILC, not just through her brilliant research, but through her embrace of and collaboration with advocates. @metavivor is so proud to have funded her! #SABCS24

Conclusions of a great presentation by Dr Erika Hamilton! Another potential benefit of AI imho: our doctors may have more time to spend with us, to explain to us, to truly partner with us in our care. We need the humanity in medicine as well. #SABCS24

Can we identify who might be at risk for delayed onset of care? Yes we can - and direct resources to these areas to mitigate this! #SABCS24

Today’s Alamo Breast Cancer Foundation session today starts out honoring one of the greatest advocates I’ve ever known, a good friend, a clinical trial hero Sheila Johnson. May she rest in power. #SABCS24

Once again @amybeumer emphasizes that we need biomarkers of efficacy - and side effucks & time to get treatment can really impact QOL. #SABCS24
