Great summary of pregnancy associated breast cancer. 1️⃣Surgery is safe anytime during pregnancy (2nd trimester safest) 2️⃣Chemo is safe in 2nd & 3rd trimester 3️⃣Termination does not improve maternal prognosis or outcome.

Excellent summary of phyllodes tumors.
✅benign phyllodes do not need 1 cm margin
✅borderline and malignant phyllodes should be treated aggressively
✅limited role or systemic therapy
✅most likely to recur within 2 years

So sad to hear the loss of
@swaggsheila1
😢 She was 25-year Air Force Veteran, 13-year metastatic breast cancer survivor and an amazing patient advocate. We have so much work to do in the space of
#metastaticBreastCancer
and early detection.
#bcsm
Cannot agree more. We need breast cancer risk assessment before age 25. Otherwise we will be missing the opportunity to screen earlier for those at INCREASED risk of breast cancer!
#bcsm
#breastcancer
Also want to put in a plug for EARLY risk assessment, ie no later than 25 with your pcp or gyn. Rec to begin at 40 is for women at AVERAGE risk. If you are at high risk for breast cancer, you may need to start sooner.
@DrCEdmonds
@Kathie_JosephMD
advocated for this recently:
When the breast surgeon and plastic surgeon wear matching hat for the joint case! 😊
In addition to shared interest of taking care of breast cancer patients, we both love our dachshunds! 😄 🌭💙

I’ve always been a proponent of neoadjuvant endocrine therapy. Rate of pCR is low but more than 50% convert from needing mastectomy to BCS candidate. Excellent presentation by Dr. Weiss.

Breast pCR is a strong predictor of axillary pCR in HER2+ and TNBC. Poor relationship between breast and axillary pCR in HR+. This data may be used did future de-escalation of surgery. Great presentation by

The 10-year risk of developing a 2nd primary BC was ~2% among women who did not carry a germline pathogenic variant compared with ~9% among women with pathogenic variant. ❇️If no pathogenic variant, rate of 2nd primary is LOW! ❇️importance of genetic testing
