Dear TNBC family,

https://www.medpagetoday.com/hematologyoncology/breastcancer/91127?xid=nl_mpt_DHE_2021-02-10&eun=g466704d0r&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily%20Headlines%20Top%20Cat%20HeC%20%202021-02-10&utm_term=NL_Daily_DHE_dual-gmail-definition" rel="nofollow - https://www.medpagetoday.com/hematologyoncology/breastcancer/91127?xid=nl_mpt_DHE_2021-02-10&eun=g466704d0r&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily%20Headlines%20Top%20Cat%20HeC%20%202021-02-10&utm_term=NL_Daily_DHE_dual-gmail-definition

I think this announcement is worthy enough of a conversation with your oncologist re: 
KEYTRUDA (Pembrolizumab) if it is offered to you.

I am not recommending that anyone take or not take Keytruda in the neo-adjuvant setting. Would just like everyone to be aware of the recommendation by the FDA panel.

warmly,

Steve
