One week to #ASCO25. Which will be an unprecedented ASCO for breast oncologists. Treatment algorithms will change for ALL disease subtypes. ADCs will climb to earlier lines of treatment. Paradigms will be challenged. Here’s my list of top 10 abstracts. See you in Chicago! #bcsm

Very promising data with KAT6 inhibition + fulvestrant presented by Pat LoRusso. Among 43 pts with HR+/HER2- MBC, all with prior CDK4/6i, ORR was 37%, mPFS 10.7 months. Main toxicity: 74% with dysgeusia (paging Antonio Giordano, MD PhD for the pronunciation of this tox). #ASCO25
