Research Landscape: Endocrine Therapies for ER+/HER2- Metastatic Breast Cancer

The FDA approved SH-105 (Tepylute) prediluted injectable treatment for breast and ovarian cancers. This innovative formulation eliminates the need for complex powder reconstitution, improving safety and patient care.

On this episode of Managed Care Cast, Emily Goldberg, MS, CGC, a genetic counselor at JScreen, breaks down how genetic screening for breast cancer works and why it is so important to increase awareness and education around these screening tools available to patients who may be at risk for cancer.

A Swedish study suggests bariatric surgery may lower breast cancer risk in obese women, particularly those with high insulin levels at baseline.

On this episode of Managed Care Cast, we discuss how already wide health care inequities in cancer are becoming much worse because of the COVID-19 pandemic, with guest Monica Soni, MD, associate chief medical officer at New Century Health.

A recent study found that neighborhood deprivation is associated with higher breast cancer death rates for non-Hispanic White women, but not Black women. This suggests factors beyond socioeconomic status contribute to the racial disparity.

Findings from ASCO 2024 suggest deruxtecan (T-DXd) may become a preferred first-line treatment for patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-low metastatic breast cancer that progressed after endocrine therapy.
