Cryotherapy Eases Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
February 6th 2018Cryotherapy delivered through frozen gloves and socks during paclitaxel (Taxol) infusion dramatically reduced objective and subjective symptoms of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in a small study of patients with breast cancer.
Patients With Brain Metastases May Now Have a Better Chance of Inclusion in Clinical Trials
February 2nd 2018Patients whose cancers have metastasized to the brain or central nervous system are often excluded from clinical trials, but now, new guidelines may help researchers identify appropriate clinical trials in which these people may be included.
Brain Training Is Key in Helping Cognitive Function in Breast Cancer Survivors
February 1st 2018Changes in cognitive function, or chemobrain, are common among patients who survive breast cancer. However, limited efforts have been put in to understanding or managing these cognitive changes in survivors. Now, there is a web site that can help with just that.
Acupuncture Reduces Joint Pain from Aromatase Inhibitors
January 29th 2018The first large, multicenter trial to investigate the effect of acupuncture in treating aromatase inhibitor-induced joint symptoms in women with breast cancer reported a statistically significant reduction in pain with acupuncture use.
A Little Weight Loss Goes a Long Way in Preventing Breast Cancer in Postmenopausal Women
January 18th 2018Results of a large study showed that postmenopausal women who lost 5% or more of their body weight were 12% less likely to develop breast cancer than those whose weight remained stable; those who lost 15% or more reduced their risk by 37%.
FDA Approves Olaparib, a PARP Inhibitor, for BRCA+ Breast Cancer
January 12th 2018Based on results from the phase III OlympiAD trial, the FDA approved olaparib (Lynparza), a PARP inhibitor, for the treatment of patients with germline BRCA-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer who have previously received chemotherapy. HR-positive patients must also have had prior endocrine therapy.
Breast Pain Does Not Necessarily Indicate Breast Cancer
January 10th 2018Though women presenting with breast pain are often sent by their clinicians for different types of breast cancer testing — typically undergoing mammography, an ultrasound, and a physical exam — a new study reveals that breast pain is not necessarily an indicator of cancer.
FDA Grants Breakthrough Designation to Ribociclib for Breast Cancer Treatment
January 4th 2018Some younger women with breast cancer may soon have a new first-line treatment option. Ribociclib (Kisqali), has been granted a breakthrough therapy designation by the FDA for use in combination with tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor (AI) as frontline treatment for pre- or perimenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
Lapatinib/Trastuzumab Combo Improves PFS in Patients with HER2+/HR+ Metastatic Breast Cancer
January 3rd 2018A new study shows that using the targeted agents lapatinib (Tykerb) and trastuzumab (Herceptin) together, combined with an aromatase inhibitor (AI), significantly reduced the risk of death or progression in women with HER2-positive/HR-positive metastatic breast cancer compared with each single targeted agent in combination with an AI.
Investigating the Use of Olaparib and Durvalumab in BRCA-mutant Breast Cancer Treatment
December 28th 2017The combination of olaparib (Lynparza) and durvalumab (Imfinzi) for pretreated patients with germline BRCA-mutated (gBRCAm), HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer shows great promise for future treatment.
Stereotactic Radiotherapy Device Approved by FDA to Treat Early Stage Breast Cancer
December 27th 2017The FDA has approved a novel breast-specific stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) device known as GammaPod as a treatment for patients with early breast cancer, based on findings from a 17-patient study.
FDA Approves Pertuzumab Regimen as Adjuvant Treatment for HER2+ Breast Cancer
December 21st 2017The FDA has approved the combination of pertuzumab (Perjeta), trastuzumab (Herceptin) and chemotherapy as an adjuvant treatment for patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer at high risk for recurrence.
PFS Improves with Ribociclib Use in Younger Women with HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer
December 12th 2017Results of a new study show that adding ribociclib (Kisqali) to standard endocrine therapy with temporary ovarian suppression significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) when used as a first-line treatment for
Trastuzumab Biosimilar Approved by the FDA
December 4th 2017Trastuzumab (Herceptin) biosimilar MYL-1401O (Ogivri; trastuzumab-dkst), which is co-developed by Mylan and Biocon, has just been approved by the FDA for HER2-positive patients with breast cancer or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, the same indications as trastuzumab.
Combination Approved for Metastatic or Advanced Breast Cancer Treatment
November 15th 2017The FDA has approved fulvestrant (Faslodex) for use in combination with the CDK4/6 inhibitor abemaciclib (Verzenio) to treat patients with HR+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have progressed after endocrine therapy.
Disparity in US Breast Cancer Mortality
November 14th 2017Breast cancer, the most common cancer diagnosed in women in the United States, is the second leading cause of cancer death among women after lung cancer. To track trends in disease incidence, mortality, and survival the American Cancer Society (ACS) analyzes data every 2 years.
Significant Rate of Febrile Neutropenia Seen in CDK 4/6 Inhibitor Based Regimens
November 6th 2017Cyclin D–dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors have proven to be effective treatment in patients with hormone receptor-positive HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. But, much like many cancer therapies, there are challenges when it comes to toxicity.
Expert Discusses the Present and Future of Genetic Testing in Breast Cancer
November 2nd 2017Laura J. van’t Veer, PhD, discussed determining more accurate methods of treatment for patients with early- and late-state breast cancer based on advances in genetic testing, specifically the 70-gene prognostic signature.
