J. Isabelle Choi, MD, shared her specific fractionation preferences and prophylactic strategies to combat adverse effects associated with radiation.

A Prescription Drug User Fee Act date of December 18, 2026, has been set for giredestrant plus everolimus in ER+, HER2–, ESR1-mutated breast cancer.

Sunil W. Dutta, MD, discussed why clinical follow-up remains an essential soft skill for radiation oncologists in an increasingly automated field.

J. Isabelle Choi, MD, discussed proton and photon therapy for locoregional recurrences, emphasizing advanced IMRT/VMAT techniques and CTV delineation.

Since 2003, breast cancer has been one of the black box warnings associated with hormone replacement therapy for women experiencing menopause.

Sunil W. Dutta, MD, discussed hypofractionation in breast reconstruction and why clinical follow up remains a key "soft skill" in an AI-driven field.

Sunil Dutta, MD, discusses integrating FAST-Forward and PRIME II trial data to personalize breast cancer treatment and sequencing radiation with ADCs.

In this review, we highlight pivotal trials that have informed current practice and ongoing trials that may inform the therapeutic landscape in the coming years.

Fumiko Chino, MD, FASCO, discussed the psychological "free fall" patients may experience after completion of radiation therapy for breast cancer.

Surgical updates for invasive breast cancer from the NCCN Breast Cancer meeting revealed insights on neoadjuvant endocrine therapy and SLNB omission.

Parul Barry, MD, discussed the evolving role of ADCs and targeted therapies in breast cancer, highlighting strategies for sequencing them with radiation.

Because there are so many options available for treating DCIS, the chosen method is often based on the patient's preferences, said Jean L. Wright, MD, FASTRO.

Certain strategies are needed to improve clinical trial diversity, focusing on building patient trust, increasing workforce representation, and reducing logistical burdens.

Parul Barry, MD, discusses advances such as ultrahypofractionated radiation and the growing role of AI in streamlining workflows for breast cancer care.

According to Jean L. Wright, MD, FASTRO, the flow of new information and research pertaining to ductal carcinoma in situ is constant.

The implementation of AI into radiomics may help predict the likelihood of response to therapies among patients undergoing breast cancer treatment.

Kathie-Ann Joseph, MD, MPH, FACS, described the clinical criteria for nipple-sparing mastectomies and oncoplastic surgery, focusing on tumor-to-nipple distance and oncologic safety for breast cancer patients.

J. Isabelle Choi, MD, outlined evidence-based strategies for radiation dose escalation in locoregionally advanced breast cancer.

Ifeoma Dikeocha, PhD, discussed how metabolic restriction and fasting-mimicking diets can help optimize chemotherapy outcomes in breast cancer.

Ifeoma Dikeocha, PhD candidate, explains why triple-negative breast cancer is uniquely sensitive to fasting mimicking diets.

A PDUFA date in the second quarter of 2026 has been set for Dato-DXd in patients with unresectable or metastatic TNBC.

Kathie-Ann Joseph, MD, MPH, FACS, explored evolving surgical strategies for inflammatory breast cancer and phyllodes tumors.

Soumen Das, MBBS, MS, FACS, details how the BC-RADS-2 study standardizes clinical breast examinations to combat diagnostic delays and improve early-stage detection in low-resource oncology settings.

Soumen Das, MS, FACS, discusses the BCRADS-2 study, a validated clinical scoring system designed to standardize breast cancer triage and downstage palpable lesions in low- and middle-income countries.

Soumen Das, MBBS, MS, FACS, discussed the BC-RADS-2 study, a community-integrated approach to standardizing breast cancer detection in low-resource settings through a structured clinical reporting and data system.
