In this on-demand Tweetorial video from BREAST CANCER CONNECT, Dr Paolo Tarantino presents a patient with ER+/HER2-  de novo metastatic breast cancer, exploring the entire diagnostic and treatment process.

Clinical Takeaways

 

  • Guidelines recommend performing molecular testing with ctDNA to tailor treatment strategies in cases of recurrence or progression on endocrine therapy
  • Elacestrant, as the first FDA-approved oral SERD (January 2023), offers a promising choice for select patients with ER+/HER2-  metastatic breast cancer harbouring an ESR1 mutation
  • Oral SERDs are being studied as a monotherapy and in combination with targeted therapies (i.e. CDK4/6, PI3K and AKT inhibitors), offering promising prospects for their integration into clinical practice
  • Recognise the efficacy and safety profiles of SERDs for patients with advanced or metastatic BC, and understand their place in the treatment landscape for patients with BC
  • Implement optimization of treatment selection, and make the appropriate sequencing decisions
  • Be able to identify and manage adverse events

Paolo Tarantino is a leading researcher in the field of breast cancer and drug development.
