Recently, I had the chance to reflect on chairing #ASCO2025, the evolving landscape of breast cancer research, and why patient-centered innovation matters more than ever.

Ha- love it. We still have more Easter Eggs in breast 🐣! 😜

I'm biased, but think #ASCO25 is going to be great.

#bcsm has some great abstracts this year- #SERENA-6 1L endocrine switch w/ ESR1 for HR+, #DB-09 1L TDXd for HER-2, and #ASCENT04 1L saci + pembro for TNBC

Erika Hamilton MD, FASCO @erikahamilton9.bsky.social · May 7

Another positive trial in #bcsm, TDXd followed by THP beats ddAC-THP in neoadjuvant HER-2+ early breast cancer.

We've seen a lot of positive TDXd results, but this is the FIRST 🥇in the early stage setting!

It's almost like we knew we didn't want measles and all were getting vaccinated so we didn't have to live like it was in 1950 🤷🏼‍♀️

PSA: anti-vax isn't cool, it isn't protecting your family. You and your family don't want complications from diseases that can be prevented.

First measles death in the US in a decade

First measles death is reported in the West Texas outbreak that's infected more than 120 people

A person who was hospitalized has died from measles in West Texas. It's the first since the outbreak began late last month.

It was for people who did not have progression on scan yet, but the emergence of a new mutation. So signaling progression was coming.

The sum of PFS and PFS2 will be important to see if people are benefiting from the two lines together longer than if the switch happened at PD.

Happy to have participated in #SERENA6, using ctDNA to tailor an early switch strategy for metastatic HR+ disease.

Could make ctDNA actually ACTIONable in breast for the first time!

My kid has to select the proper US state as an online interactive map calls them out in random order in under 2 minutes.

I can't even come close. It's near impossible when you have to zoom in on small states in the NE to accurately press the right tiiiny state on an iPad and then zoom back out.

Have to admit, I've been super pleasantly surprised by this stuff.

This is huge.

Others will follow.

EU medicines agency quits X, moves to Bluesky

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) said on Monday it would no longer post on X and would use rival Bluesky instead, becoming the latest organisation to quit a social media platform that some have criticised for its content.

The tiny amount of aluminum helps make certain vaccines even more effective& has a strong safety record. “In the first six months of babies’ lives, vaccines expose them to roughly 4.4 milligrams of aluminum. One slice of American cheese, by contrast, can contain as much as 50 milligrams of aluminum”

Yes, Some Vaccines Contain Aluminum. That’s a Good Thing.

R.F.K. Jr. and others have blamed the ingredient for allergies and other illnesses. Scientists say it actually bolsters the immune response.
