Interview with Charles E Geyer Jr, MD

Track 1: Case: A premenopausal woman in her mid-40s with Grade II, ER/PR-positive, HER2-negative lobular breast cancer, a 21-gene assay Recurrence Score (RS) of 10 and a deleterious CHEK2 mutation undergoes a bilateral mastectomy
Track 2: Impact of gene-expression assay results on therapeutic decision-making
Track 3: Results of the Phase III TAILORx trial evaluating chemoendocrine therapy versus endocrine therapy alone for patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative, node-negative breast cancer and an intermediate RS
Track 4: Clinical utility of the 21-gene and 70-gene assays
Track 5: Benefit with the addition of ovarian function suppression to endocrine therapy for premenopausal women with ER-positive breast cancer at high risk for recurrence
Track 6: Approach to assessing the adequacy of ovarian function suppression in premenopausal patients receiving aromatase inhibition
Track 7: Significance of clinical risk category in prognosis and in the prediction of chemotherapy benefit by age and RS in the TAILORx trial
Track 8: Use of adjuvant bone-modifying agents to reduce the risk of aromatase inhibitor-associated bone loss and fracture
Track 9: Role of the 21-gene assay RS in guiding neoadjuvant therapy decision-making for ER-positive, HER2-negative localized breast cancer
Track 10: Mechanism of action, efficacy and tolerability of CDK4/6 inhibitors for ER-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer
Track 11: Investigation of CDK4/6 inhibitors alone or in combination with endocrine therapy in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings
Track 12: Case: A postmenopausal woman in her mid-50s with Grade I, ER-positive, PR-negative, HER2-negative infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC) with 1 positive node and a RS of 20 receives an aromatase inhibitor and denosumab
Track 13: Approach to the selection of adjuvant endocrine therapy; management of aromatase inhibitor-associated arthralgias
Track 14: Clinical and genomic risk to guide the use of adjuvant therapy for breast cancer
Track 15: Prospective data with and ongoing evaluation of the 21-gene and 70-gene assays for patients with node-positive disease
Track 16: Results from the Phase III KATHERINE study evaluating adjuvant T-DM1 versus trastuzumab for patients with HER2-positive localized breast cancer and residual disease after neoadjuvant treatment
Track 17: Rationale for the design and entry criteria of the KATHERINE study
Track 18: Mechanism of action, activity and tolerability of antibody-drug conjugates
Track 19: Second opinion: Therapeutic options for a patient in her mid-40s with recurrent, locally advanced, ER/PR-positive, HER2-positive breast cancer
Track 20: Clinical implications of the KATHERINE trial results

Interview with Tari A King, MD

Track 1: Recent developments in the surgical care of patients with breast cancer
Track 2: Predictive versus prognostic role of the 21-gene assay RS in ER-positive, HER2-negative, node-positive breast cancer
Track 3: Clinical implications of the TAILORx trial results
Track 4: Reliability of the 21-gene assay RS in guiding neoadjuvant therapy decision-making
Track 5: Impact of genomic assay testing and clinical features on the use of chemotherapy after the implementation of standardized reflex testing criteria
Track 6: Clinical utility of the 21-gene assay RS in the selection of therapy
Track 7: Application and utility of the MINDACT trial results; use of the 70-gene signature assay in breast cancer
Track 8: Criteria for surgeon-initiated reflex gene-expression profile testing for patients with early-stage breast cancer to reduce delays in the initiation of chemotherapy
Track 9: Surgeon variability and factors predicting the need for reoperation after breast-conserving surgery
Track 10: Recent trends in reoperation after initial lumpectomy for patients with breast cancer
Track 11: Multidisciplinary management of the axilla for patients with breast cancer undergoing primary mastectomy
Track 12: Optimal locoregional management of sentinel node-negative and node-positive breast cancer
Track 13: Key issues regarding gross and microscopic evaluation of breast and lymph node specimens after neoadjuvant systemic therapy
Track 14: Importance of accurate specimen evaluation in assessing treatment response
Track 15: Factors predicting the use of preoperative therapy for young women with breast cancer; impact on breast-conserving surgery
Track 16: Updated AJCC Staging Manual: Incorporation of tumor biology into breast cancer staging to tailor treatment and refine prognosis
Track 17: Case: A woman in her mid-40s with ER/PR-negative, HER2-positive IDC receives neoadjuvant paclitaxel/trastuzumab/pertuzumab on the Phase I DAPHNe trial
Track 18: Perspective on the results of the KATHERINE trial
Track 19: Threshold for neoadjuvant therapy in triple-negative versus HER2-positive breast cancer; side-effect profile of paclitaxel in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab
Track 20: Case: A woman in her mid-30s with triple-negative breast cancer has residual invasive disease in the breast and axillary lymph nodes after receiving neoadjuvant dose-dense AC followed by paclitaxel
Track 21: Perspective on the importance of genomic testing in guiding treatment decision-making for patients with newly diagnosed disease
Track 22: Surgical treatment options for patients with triple-negative breast cancer and germline BRCA mutations
Track 23: Case: A woman in her mid-40s with ER/PR-positive, HER2-negative IDC receives a RS of 18
Track 24: Effects of age, menopausal status and RS on the prediction of benefit from chemotherapy
