Dear TNBC family,


Hope you all can open it...

Here is a brief summary based on a statement from Dr. Ingrid Mayer an excellent TNBC specialist at Vanderbilt i Nashville, TN.

– Should discourage use of adjuvant platinum in residual TNBC post-neoadjuvant chemo, she says

by Jeff Minerd , Contributing Writer, MedPage Today January 4, 2022

Platinum-based agents have been used as adjuvant therapy for patients with residual triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, based on clinical trial data showing improved pathological complete response (pCR) rates. Newer data, however, should discourage this practice, scientists said.

The ECOG-ACRIN EA1131 trial found that platinum-based chemotherapy did not extend invasive disease-free survival compared with capecitabine in patients with TNBC residual disease following neoadjuvant chemotherapy, regardless of the cancer subtype, and was associated with more severe toxicity.

with my love to all here,
