In HR+ metastatic/recurrent #BreastCancer, co-use of PPIs or H2 blockers w/ CDK4/6 inhibitors was linked to worse PFS & OS in this study, needing caution when prescribing concomitant acid-suppressive therapy. @susanebates @gbanna74 @PasRescigno https://t.co/7gknEwilWm

In early #BreastCancer adjuvant trials, invasive disease-free survival & invasive breast cancer-free survival correlated w/ OS, esp. in HR+/HER2– disease; distant disease-free survival was the best surrogate in TNBC. @susanebates @gbanna74 @PasRescigno https://t.co/7cwSOfmfwO

In this meta-analysis, #lenvatinib was found to increase the risk of hypertension (all-grade=50%, grade ≥3=14%) & proteinuria (all-grade=32%, grade ≥3=6%), esp. w/ high doses (≥20mg). Close monitoring is required. https://t.co/fMXEAzIAXl @susanebates @gbanna74 @PasRescigno

In patients with #melanoma (1–3 LN mets), selective LN dissection + adjuvant immunotherapy (IO) achieved a 2-yr RRFS of 65.7%, with low morbidity. This supports avoiding full LN dissection when feasible. @susanebates @gbanna74 @PasRescigno https://t.co/5Hjq9dHrq6

In this review of 22 studies involving older adults w/ cancer, #QoL was stable long-term but declined during treatment & last year of life. Comorbidities, older age, & mobility issues predicted decline. #gerionc #supponc @susanebates @gbanna74 @PasRescigno https://t.co/hi2oErURVm

In early-stage #TNBC, chemo+ICI achieved 50% pCR (vs 35.9% w/ chemo alone), albeit lower than #KEYNOTE522 trial rates. Less pronounced real-world benefit needs further validation in a larger cohort. #immunotherapy #bcsm @susanebates @gbanna74 @PasRescigno https://t.co/4SHRe5NPJB
