Promising results with neoadjuvant nivo/relatlimab (LAG3 mAb) for mostly cT1c TNBC with high TILs: 47% pCR rate, 73% MPR. Immune toxicities remain an issue, with a case of diabetes mellitus. Terrific work from the team of MarleenKokLab — concomitant Nature Medicine publication



Very excited that we see a 33% pCR rate with only 6 weeks of immunotherapy without chemo in TIL high TNBC. A lay version of our story👇. The Netherlands Cancer Institute TILs Working Group Nature Medicine


A very impactful #ESMO24. Thanks Rebecca Dent and great ESMO staff ESMO - Eur. Oncology Kate Kronig! Minor note: Nature Medicine had even more concomitant papers of which 2 from The Netherlands Cancer Institute


Best break-out session ever on TME in lobular BC! Important especially since pts with ILC are often excluded from immunotherapy trials. Thanks for terrific organisation and location Christine Desmedt ELBCC #ilcsymposium Dr. Steffi Oesterreich


Had a fantastic meeting at the #ILCsymposium in beautiful Leuven, Belgium organized by Christine Desmedt and her team! Lots to think about, and lot more progress that needs to be made! Dr. Steffi Oesterreich Adrian Lee

This is well-deserved! Congrats Karin de Visser 🥳🥳. She was one of the first scientists recognizing the importance of immune cells in breast tumors. Thanks to key leaders like Karin we now start doing trials specific for BC with high TILs #OPTImal study The Netherlands Cancer Institute TILs Working Group

Recent Nature paper on phase of menstrual cycle at start of breast cancer chemo suggests that this can affect chemo-sensitivity. More research needed on how this can result in cycle-driven-chemo-start. 💊💉Congrats Van Rheenen Lab The Netherlands Cancer Institute nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to present 🎤 first data #SABCS24 from TONIC2. Follow-up from nature.com/articles/s4159…. Are immune induction with dox or cisplatin indeed benefiting pts? Veerle Geurts at P1-7-30 and new data on acquired resist🔬 to aPD1 at PS17-09 The Netherlands Cancer Institute OncoAlert Nature Medicine
