🤨 Poll: What percent of all people diagnosed with #BreastCancer carry a germline BRCA 1 and/or 2 mutation?
🤔Are there features that might make you more likely to suspect a patient is a mutation carrier?

Take🏠messages:
✅3 agents (pembro, atezo, cempilimab) 👍🏽PD-L1 TPS >50% in 1L
– No head to head ICI comparisons
✅OS BETTER w IO alone vs chemo
✅💰tox huge problem!

Thurs Case🎀
Key factors to choose ICI (in absence of head to head trials):
- Pt experiences/preferences
- Dosing schedule
- $$$ toxicity
The good news: across 3 separate agents (pembrolizumab, atezolizumab, cemiplimab) OS is BETTER w IO alone vs chemo

Thursday Case🎀
How do you choose IO vs PARPi in #TNBC w #BRCA mutation? Check out the summary and algorithm below!
Important to know there are more 2L options as well, including sacituzumab-gov & other ADCs. New trials evaluating IO+ PARPi–stay tuned!

She has 3👨👦👦,🚭, no comorbidities
FMHx: maternal aunt had gastric cancer & paternal cousin had CRC
Tx with neoadjuvant AC ----> T with some response but significant residual disease. 😥
What info would you need to treat this patient?

@theNCI @Bill_Klein_NCI @pbjacobsen @JAMA_current @TheLancet 1. All this work relies on observational studies with drink diaries and shaky recall, and, at best, associations (not causality)

@theNCI @Bill_Klein_NCI @pbjacobsen @JAMA_current @TheLancet 3.

@SenSanders @ninaturner @fshakir @AriRabinHavt Why health insurance companies are awesome.🙄 A true story. Once upon a time there was a young woman with breast cancer. The first time she was diagnosed, she had three different health insurance companies due to employer made
changes of her now ex-husband. With each change came time spent by the patient and oncologist to update referrals and get approvals. The doctors and medical facilities would not allow treatment to continue without a letter from the new insurer with the second change in less
than twelve months because it would be over a month before the young woman had a medical insurance card. The day before the final chemo, the letter, finally, came. Fast forward two months to time for radiation therapy and the young woman gets a call that unless she pays
