Unpacking the Role of Adjuvant Therapies in Breast Cancer

The Syneos Health Podcast

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women worldwide, and it can be treated with different modalities, such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, hormone therapy and targeted therapy. However, even after the primary treatment, some cancer cells may remain in the body and cause recurrence or metastasis. This is where adjuvant therapies come in: they are additional treatments that aim to reduce the risk of cancer coming back or spreading to other parts of the body.
In this episode, Syneos Health colleagues Dr. Juan Manuel Carrera, Senior Medical Director and Lisamarie Burgio, Executive Director, Therapeutic Strategy and Innovation join the podcast to explore the role of adjuvant therapies in breast cancer, with a focus on the latest developments and challenges in this field. They share their extensive experiences and insights from both clinical and operational perspectives, emphasizing the importance of personalized treatment approaches based on the latest genomic information and the evolving landscape of clinical trials, offering a comprehensive view of the strides being made and the challenges that remain.
