Rounds with the Investigators 2012 | Breast Cancer
DR NEIL LOVE: Just real quick, actually, Sara: Amazingly we got a communication from a medical oncologist in Nigeria who was asking a question I never heard anybody ask, but I thought it was interesting. At what point may a woman breast-feed from a breast that has had surgery or radiation for breast cancer?
DR SARA HURVITZ: Wow! That’s a very interesting question, and I’ve never heard it. In general, patients of mine who have had breast surgery and radiation and go on to have a pregnancy, they haven’t breast-fed. And I do not know the answer to that question.
Rounds with the Investigators 2012 | Breast Cancer
DR NEIL LOVE: Okay. Here’s this one. He’s in Fresno, California, incidentally. I have a 36-year-old woman who presented with inflammatory breast cancer while pregnant. ER-, PR- and HER2-positive with metastatic disease to the spine. Wow! Received TCH, had a complete response, was placed on tamoxifen and trastuzumab. Relapsed 4 months later with brain mets. Wow, this is incredible.
Received whole brain radiation, switched to lapatinib/capecitabine. Local progression in the brain with CR continuing elsewhere. Gets stereotactic radiation. Now she’s progressing in the brain.
