We show clinically relevant genomic alterations were significantly enriched in brain mets (BM) compared to local BCs & non-CNS metastases. Accessing ctDNA in CSF going to be key moving forward to understand & develop treatments to BMs npj Journals nature.com/articles/s4169…

Simultaneous Nature Medicine pub of 2 neoadjuvant chemo-IO trials for high-risk ER+ BC: KN-756 & CM-7FL. Both found a striking improvement in pCR rate with IO, with larger Δ if PD-L1+ or low ER. Waiting for EFS data, which will most likely impact practice. nature.com/articles/s4159…


Congrats to Kamran Ahmed & team on this important brain mets screening study! The cumulative incidence of brain mets among pts with HR+/HER2-ve mbc whose dz progressed on 1st line ET was quite high (23% @ 6 mo) & comparable to that of pts with HER2+ (24%) and triple neg mbc (25%).

BIG-NCTN is excited to collaborate with ABC Global Alliance on the brain Mets HUB! If you have suggestions for links/webpages to include, please send them to [email protected] where they will be curated as the HUB is built out. Seamus O’Reilly MD PhD Breast International Group Carey Anders



Congrats Katarzyna Jerzak, our Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre breast cancer medical oncolgist, continues to interrogate associations and novel therapeutics for her2+ve disease. Check out the latest paper as we continue to learn about her2 low status and brain metastases. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40048670/
