Honored to be recognized by ScholarGPS for lifetime contributions to trastuzumab research. HER2-targeted therapy has changed outcomes for patients with breast cancer worldwide. This progress belongs to patients, collaborators, and generations of scientists.

Onward.

🧬 Not everyone with breast cancer—or a family history—actually needs genetic testing. The real question is: how do you know if it’s the right step for you?

Take a look—you might be surprised by who doesn’t need testing, and who definitely should.

Cancer is overwhelming. But good information can change everything.

Each week, I share short, evidence-based videos on YouTube—breaking down the latest in treatment trends, side effect relief, and survivorship care.

#ASCO25 trials suggest carboplatin may be safely omitted from neoadjuvant therapy in many HER2+ early breast cancers. neoCARHP showed non-inferior pCR without carboplatin and fewer side effects. CompassHER2-pCR confirmed strong THP efficacy, especially in ER− tumors.

Are serial liquid biopsies finally ready for prime time?

If #camizestrant is approved based on #SERENA-6, it would mark the first therapy triggered by a rising #ESR1 mutation before visible recurrence.

That means #ctDNA won’t just monitor—it could guide treatment.

New hope for hormone-resistant breast cancer?
VERITAC-2 tests a next-gen PROTAC therapy targeting ESR1 mutations.
Breakthrough science at #ASCO25 🎯

@bsky.app more than adequately picked up what was lost from Twitter when it comes to medical conferences.
#sabcs24 was a throwback to those old days of following posts, seeing different perspectives on data, and seeing colleagues in San Antonio.

Just returned from #SABCS24—what an incredible experience! It was great reconnecting with old friends, making new connections, and immersing myself in the latest breakthroughs in breast cancer research and treatment. Events like this remind me how collaboration drives progress.
