The annual meeting of the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium was held virtually this year from Dec. 8 to 11 and attracted participants from around the world, including medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, researchers, and other health care professionals. The conference highlighted recent advances in the risk, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of breast cancer, with presentations focusing on emerging treatments in hard-to-treat patient populations, including patients with metastatic breast cancer.
As part of the RxPONDER study, Kevin Kalinsky, M.D., of the Glenn Family Breast Center at the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University in Atlanta, and colleagues found that postmenopausal women with lymph node-positive early-stage breast cancer and a low recurrence score receive no additional benefit from chemotherapy.
