1,116 patients randomized to ET +/- 3 years of ibandronate. No DFS benefit (HR 0.97, p=0.81). Eleven patients in the ibandronate arm developed osteonecrosis of the jaw.https://t.co/CxhZcTNLhU— Paolo Tarantino (@PTarantinoMD) April 21, 2022

Out on NPJ Breast a new report on #ERlowtumors. No difference in characteristics, pCR rates, RFS os OS compared with #TNBC. Patients with ER-low tumors should be treated as for TNBC. Also, important confounder to remember in HER2-low prognostic analyses.https://t.co/M1GF8eyYbT pic.twitter.com/CrLyUgyhUV
