  • Misc

    Overall wonderful updates. Listen to these while driving. Would however appreciate if the Oncology nursing series was on a separate platform or podcasts. When one is driving the podcasts roll on and I don’t want to hear the nursing discussions .It is somewhat dangerous to be messing with the podcasts while driving. (With all due respect to nursing collegues). Also in areas where there is no reception, manually skipping a talk often just causes the connection to drop.

    Simply one of the best most complete and informative podcasts in any medical topic ever made. I am a pediatrician and do not treat cancer. Yet I listen to every new episode. Outstanding.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer — 5-Minute Journal Club Activity 4 with Dr Sara M Tolaney
Q: Anything new and exciting in terms of screening for brainmets and managing them?
Tolaney describes brain metastases as a significant challenge in triple-negative breast cancer, often occurring alongside active extracranial disease. She points to emerging evidence of intracranial activity from antibody-drug conjugates and says larger studies are awaited.
Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer — 5-Minute Journal Club Activity 4 with Dr Sara M Tolaney
Q: Can you kind of get into sort of the granular way you think through preventing and managing both of those toxicities, including the way you use preemptive therapy, for example, growth factors or anti-diarrheals?
Tolaney uses primary growth-factor prophylaxis for patients at high risk of neutropenia, with the schedule tailored to weekly treatment. She generally avoids prophylactic antidiarrheals because of constipation, using them as needed instead, and monitors patients carefully.
Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer — 5-Minute Journal Club Activity 3 with Dr Sara M Tolaney
Q: Can you comment on how the two major first-line ADC trials (Ascent 03 and Tropion Breast 02) influence current practice and decision-making?
Both trials show benefits of ADCs over chemotherapy in PD-L1–negative and positive settings, with a need to consider toxicity profiles, dosing schedules, and response durability; the data support using SG upfront in some contexts, but direct OS advantages remain immature and contingent on trial design and crossover.
Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer — 5-Minute Journal Club Activity 1 with Dr David W Cescon
Q: What is the impact of PD-L1 status and immunotherapy combinations on first-line treatment in this context, particularly with ASCENT-04 and KENO-355 like regimens?
Immunotherapy combinations can yield deep, durable responses in PD-L1 positive patients, but benefits depend on patient selection and trial design; ongoing data suggest potential new standard-of-care options, though longer follow-up is needed to confirm overall survival advantages and to define which patients benefit most.
Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer — 5-Minute Journal Club Activity 1 with Dr David W Cescon
Q: With no head-to-head trials, how should clinicians think about choosing between ASCENT-03 and Tropion Breast O2 in first-line, PD-L1 negative, immunotherapy-ineligible patients?
Clinicians should consider crossover design, local drug availability, toxicity management needs (e.g., myelosuppression for SG vs stomatitis/ocular toxicity for datapodumab), and patient-specific factors such as prior exposure and comprehensive risk assessment rather than assuming one agent is universally superior.
