Which FDA Approvals, Other Advances Changed ER-Positive Breast Cancer Care in 2023?

From compelling data presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium to the recent U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of capivasertib, 2023 saw numerous key advances in breast cancer care. Aditya Bardia, MD, MPH, director of the breast cancer research program at Massachusetts General Hospital and associate professor at Harvard Medical School in Boston, and Robert A. Figlin, MD, the Steven Spielberg Family Chair in hematology-oncology at Cedars-Sinai Cancer Center in Los Angeles, discuss how several notable developments are already impacting practice. Dr. Bardia explains why genotyping is essential, provided it is available and affordable, and what recent changes have meant for the “roadmap” he presents to patients with metastatic disease. He also considers what 2024 may have on tap for this rapidly changing field.
