The impact of race and ethnicity in breast cancer-disparities and implications for precision oncology

Kelly A. Hirko et al.

Summary: Breast cancer, as one of the leading causes of cancer death globally, displays variations in incidence, pathological features, and clinical outcomes across geographical and racial/ethnic populations. However, there is a lack of racial and ethnic diversity in breast cancer clinical trials, with underrepresentation of both Blacks and Hispanics. In this forum article, breast cancer researchers discuss the factors contributing to racial and ethnic disparities in breast cancer and emphasize the specific implications of precision oncology approaches in achieving equitable provision of care and addressing disparities.

Trastuzumab Deruxtecan versus Trastuzumab Emtansine for Breast Cancer

J. Cortes et al.

Summary: Among patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer previously treated with trastuzumab and a taxane, trastuzumab deruxtecan was associated with a lower risk of disease progression or death compared to trastuzumab emtansine. However, treatment with trastuzumab deruxtecan was associated with interstitial lung disease and pneumonitis.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Summary: The biomarker analysis from the ASCENT trial demonstrates that sacituzumab govitecan (SG) provides improved survival outcomes and objective response rates in previously treated mTNBC patients with high/medium Trop-2 expression compared to standard-of-care chemotherapy (TPC), regardless of germline BRCA1/2 mutation status.
