Nicholas C. Turner, MD, PhD, on High-Risk Early-Stage Breast Cancer: Profiling Primary Tumors
Nicholas C. Turner, MD, PhD, of The Royal Marsden Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, and the Institute of Cancer Research, London, discusses the monarchE trial, which evaluated molecular profiling of archived primary tumor tissue from patients with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative,...
Capivasertib Plus Fulvestrant Doubles Progression-Free Survival in Hormone Receptor–Positive, HER2-Negative Advanced Breast Cancer
The combination of capivasertib, an AKT pathway inhibitor, plus fulvestrant, an estrogen receptor antagonist, significantly improved progression-free survival compared with fulvestrant alone in patients with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer, according to results of...
‘Best of SABCS’: Top 7 Picks From the 2022 Meeting by Jame Abraham, MD, FACP
Among the high-quality abstract presentations at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), a few always stand out as particularly meritorious. Each year, The ASCOPost asks our Associate Editor, breast cancer specialist Jame Abraham, MD, FACP, to give us his picks. Dr. Abraham is Chairman of ...
Capivasertib Plus Fulvestrant Doubles Progression-Free Survival in Hormone Receptor–Positive, HER2-Negative Advanced Breast Cancer
The combination of capivasertib, an AKT pathway inhibitor, plus fulvestrant, an estrogen receptor antagonist, significantly improved progression-free survival compared with fulvestrant alone in patients with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer, according to results of...
Nicholas C. Turner, MD, PhD, on New Data on Capivasertib and Fulvestrant for Advanced Breast Cancer
Nicholas C. Turner, MD, PhD, of London’s Institute of Cancer Research and The Royal Marsden, discusses phase III results from the CAPItello-291 clinical trial, which showed that in patients with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative tumors resistant to aromatase inhibitors, adding the...
Studies Show Circulating Tumor Material May Predict Outcomes After Neoadjuvant Therapy for Breast Cancer
In early triple-negative breast cancer, the presence of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and circulating tumor cells after neoadjuvant chemotherapy may enable risk stratification of patients for disease recurrence and may predict outcomes, according to a preplanned correlative analysis of the phase II ...
Nicholas C. Turner, MD, PhD, on ctDNA Testing to Direct Targeted Therapies in Advanced Breast Cancer
Nicholas C. Turner, MD, PhD, of The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, discusses findings from the plasmaMATCH trial, which showed that circulating tumor DNA testing offers accurate tumor genotyping to identify patients with rare HER2 and AKT1 mutations and may enable matching them with targeted...
Circulating Tumor DNA Analysis: ASCO and CAP Joint Review
As reported in the Journal of Clinical Oncology and the Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine by Jason D. Merker, MD, PhD, of Stanford University School of Medicine, and colleagues, ASCO and the College of American Pathologists (CAP) have issued a joint review on the status of...
Nicholas C. Turner, MD, PhD, on Tackling Breast Cancer Diversity
Nicholas C. Turner, MD, PhD, of The Royal Marsden Hospital NHS Trust, discusses the challenges of treating metastatic breast cancer and how liquid biopsies can serve as a guide to genetic phenotypes.
Lisa A. Carey, MD, and Nicholas C. Turner, MD, PhD, on PALOMA-2 and -3 Study Findings in Advanced Breast Cancer
Lisa A. Carey, MD, of the University of North Carolina, and Nicholas C. Turner, MD, PhD, of The Royal Marsden Hospital and Institute of Cancer Research, discuss the efficacy of palbociclib plus fulvestrant in patients with ESR1 mutations in circulating tumor DNA, and palbociclib and letrozole for...
Nicholas C. Turner, MD, PhD, and Clifford A. Hudis, MD, on Results of the PALOMA3 Study on Hormone Receptor–Positive, HER2 Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer
Clifford A. Hudis, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and Nicholas C. Turner, MD, PhD, of the Royal Marsden Hospital NHS Trust, discuss fulvestrant and palbociclib as a treatment option in pre- and postmenopausal women with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast...
Nicholas C. Turner, MD, PhD, Summarizes Results of the PALOMA3 Breast Cancer Study
Nicholas C. Turner, MD, PhD, of the Royal Marsden Hospital NHS Trust, discusses fulvestrant and palbociclib as a treatment option in pre- and postmenopausal women with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer that progressed on prior endocrine therapy (Abstract LBA502).
Palbociclib Improves Progression-Free Survival in Advanced Hormone Receptor–Positive Breast Cancer
In a phase III PALOMA 3 trial reported at the 2015 ASCO Annual Meeting and published in The New England Journal of Medicine, Turner et al found that the cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitor palbociclib (Ibrance) significantly improved progression-free survival in women with advanced hormone...
ASCO 2015: Novel Targeted Drug Palbociclib Slows Progression of Hormone Receptor–Positive Breast Cancer
Results from the phase III registration study PALOMA-3 show that adding the investigational targeted agent palbociclib (Ibrance) to the standard hormonal therapy fulvestrant (Faslodex) more than doubled the duration of disease control, delaying disease progression by roughly 5 months in women with...
