Q

when you see XRT what is it

A

radiation therapy

27
Q

what stage is breast cancer metastatic?

A

IV

28
Q

does radiation fall under neoadjuvant or adjuvant?

A

adjuvant

29
Q

before surgery
A. neoadjuvant
B. adjuvant

A

A

30
Q

In stages I, IIA, IIB, and III when do you choose to give neoadjuvant therapy?

A

pts with tumors >1 cm

31
Q

what are the 2 benefits of neoadjuvant therapy (she made this sound important)

A
  • allows less extensive surgery
  • allows you to see response to chemo while tumor is in tact
32
Q

HER2 negative ,tumor < or = to 0.5 cm -> consider what therapy?

A

adjuvant endocrine

33
Q

HER2 positive ,tumor < or = to 0.5 cm -> consider what therapy?

A

adjuvant endocrine +/- chemo with HER2 targeted therapy

34
Q

T or F:
SERMS and LNRH analogs are considered neoadjuvant therapies

A

false, adjuvant

35
Q

adjuvant chemo regimen HER2 negative (2 preferred options)

A

DOSE dense AC -> paclitaxel (NCCN preferred), doxo, cyclo
TC -> docetaxel, cyclo

36
Q

what does dose dense mean?

A

pts got same amount of chemo but in less time than usual

37
Q

if pt is HER2 negative and has cardiac issues what should you consider>

A

using docetaxel and cyclo instead of the doxorubicin onee

38
Q

drug to include every time if her2 positive

A

trastuzumab, (or combo with pertuzumab)

39
Q

adjuvant her2 positive regimens

A

APT -> paciltaxel, trast
TCH -> docetaxel, carboplatin, trast

40
Q

what does residual disease mean in breast cancer

A

that the cancer is still there after some level of treatment

41
Q

what is ado-trastuzumab

A

trast with emtansine (TDM-1)

42
Q

if you see keynote trial what do you think of

A

triple negative breast cancer

43
Q

triplle negative regimen

A

pembro+ chemo, paclitaxel, carboplat

44
Q

ER+/PR+ means what kind of therapy

A

hormone

45
Q

ER/PR- means what kind of therapy

A

chemo and HER2 depending on her2+ or -

46
Q

if there is something that says “bone only disease” what kind of therapy do you choose

A

hormone

47
Q

recommended 1st line option for her2 positive metastatic

A

trast
pert
docetaxel

48
Q

2nd line her2 + metastatic

A

fam-trast
deruxtecan-nxki

49
Q

when do you use the fam-trast deruxtecan thing

A

in her2 low patients

50
Q

what class has shown benefit in triple negative

A

platinum agnets

51
Q

two first line options for triple negativee

A

carboplatin
cisplatin

52
Q

pembro is also approved in triple negative, what is something you check for to determine if this is appropriate

A

combined positive score, assess number of pd-L1 staining cells, max is 100 and usually use it with score 10 or above

53
Q

1st line hormonal therapy metastatic

A

aromatase inhibitor + cdk4/6 inhibitor

54
Q

2nd line hormonal therapy metastatic

A

fulvestrant + cdk4/6 inhibitor
or
everolimus + endocrine therapy (exemestane, fulvestrant, tamoxifen)

55
Q

T or F:
CDK 4/6 inhibitors are activated in ER+ breast cancer

A

true

56
Q

3 cdk4/6 inhibitors

A

abemaciclib
palbociclib
ribociclib

57
Q

what is the main monitoring parameter for cdl4/6 inhibitors

A

complete blood count

58
Q

which cdl 4/6 inhibitor can cause qtc prolongation **

A

ribociclib

59
Q

what age are mammograms cant think of the verb

A

40-44 and above

60
Q

T or F:
pts with BRCA mutations are at risk for breast cancer

A

no fuckin shit

61
Q

what 3 agents have been studied in preventative setting

A

tamoxifen
raloxifene
exemestane

62
Q

T or F:
tamoxifen is used more often than raloxifene in prevention because it is more effective

A

false, same effectiveness

63
Q

what two ae’s did pts taking raloxifene have less of than tamoxifen
