Show Notes

Unbeknownst to Josh, we are already at Day 5 of our ASCO Odyssey, and like Odysseus arriving at Circe's island of Aeaea, we have arrived at the episode devoted to early Breast Cancer. Today we examine four very interesting studies, looking at alternative immunotherapy strategies with adjuvant avelumab, adjuvant endocrine therapy omission in low-ER positive disease, ctDNA in predicting disease recurrence, and a study that aims to change the very bedrock of breast cancer classification. Lots to discuss, deconstruct and debate on today's episode!
