Great to see #lobular #ILC have its own session at the Canadian #breastcancer symposium! Enjoyed participating with @anaelisalohman1 @nan_nixon @AM_Covelli_MD Patient advocate @lobbccanada (@CBCN @LobularBCA) advocated for this for years, glad this happened before her passing.

Timely @JCO_ASCO commentary on CNS surveillance for MBC by @JerzakKasia et al. Mixed recommendations from international societies, informed by practices that predated novel RT techniques (eg SRS) and brain-active drugs (ADCs, TKI). Urgent call to action. https://t.co/SSbEY913t8

Looking forward to Dr. Osman joining our Breast Surgical Oncology team @WCHospital on July 1st! @UofTGSx @UofTSurgery
Dr. Fahima Osman arrived in Canada as an 11-year-old refugee, and grew up the eldest of 9 kids. Today, she is a surgical oncologist and the first Somali refugee to become a doctor in Canada. This great @globeandmail piece about Dr. Osman is a must-read.

Dr. Giacomo Montagna presents the microNAC international collab - 30% of pts with residual micromets after chemo have add’l disease, although this doesn’t translate into differences in axillary recurrence. TN subtype may be an exception @SocSurgOnc #SSO2025 @MSKCancerCenter
