CNS Disease in Breast Cancer: Clinical Management & Strategies
How should a breast cancer team manage central nervous system (CNS) disease now that systemic therapy, radiation, and surgery all compete for the first move? On this episode of BackTable Tumor Board, host Dr. Lindsay Peterson interviews Dr. Barbara O'Brien, neuro-oncologist at MD Anderson, about diagnosis, sequencing, and follow-up for CNS disease in breast cancer. They discuss risk by subtype, when to image and screen, and the importance of multidisciplinary workup for new brain metastases, as well as how to choose and sequence local and systemic options.
