Early Breast Cancer Highlights From ASCO 2025
Dr Krop begins with the neoCARHP trial, which reevaluated the role of carboplatin, a component of standard neoadjuvant therapy for patients with early HER2-positive breast cancer. Omitting carboplatin yielded comparable pathologic complete response results confirming noninferiority of the carboplatin-free regimen.
Carboplatin was also reexamined in the context of triple-negative breast cancer in the phase 3 NRG-BR003 trial. Invasive disease-free survival rates at 5 years were slightly higher among patients taking carboplatin, although patients who had BRCA mutations appeared to experience more benefit.
In hormone receptor (HR)-positive disease, Dr Krop discusses 15-year updated data from the SOFT and TEXT trials assessing the benefit of adjuvant exemestane with ovarian function suppression (OFS) vs tamoxifen plus OFS. Results confirmed the benefit of adding OFS and switching to exemestane, particularly for higher-risk patients.
Vasomotor symptoms can compromise quality of life for patients with breast cancer and can lead to nonadherence. Dr Krop highlights the OASIS 4 trial, which evaluated elinzanetant in patients with HR-positive disease. Promising results in this trial are helping to move this therapy toward FDA approval.

Golfer says he ‘overdosed' on creatine during BMW Championship
Golf Drugs in societyFacebookTweetLink Follow American golfer Ben Griffin got the shakes at the BMW Championship – though it wasn't necessarily because of nerves, but rather due to swallowing a 'large rock' of creatine. World No. 17 Griffin said that he 'started getting super shaky' and 'felt like I had tremors' on Sunday after accidentally swallowing a large amount of the supplement. Creatine 'contributes to rapid energy production and may enhance power or speed bursts requiring short periods of anaerobic activity,' according to Harvard Health, and usage of the supplement is common among gym enthusiasts as there is evidence it 'can hasten muscle recovery after strenuous exercise.' 'I've taken it on the golf course before. It's fine,' Griffin said, per the PGA Tour. 'I started taking it after my second shot, and I accidentally swallowed one of the big rocks in my water bottle. I've never overdosed on creatine before, but I think I did in the moment because I didn't really drink any water after that. I basically just inhaled a snowball,' the two-time PGA Tour winner explained. Griffin said that he usually takes 15mg of the supplement daily, but on this occasion, he estimates he accidentally ingested that amount at one time. 'I was physically shaking like I've never felt before,' Griffin said. 'And I don't normally miss a lot of short putts. It was really a weird situation.' The golfer said that his caddie intervened by making him drink water and calming him down. Griffin was six over par for the first three holes – carding a triple-bogey, double-bogey and bogey – and the golfer thought about withdrawing from the tournament, but after that, he said the physical effects started to wear off. He then made seven birdies and signed for a one-under 69, finishing tied for 12th in an impressive comeback. 'It was probably more just a little bit flustered. I was fine after the second shot on two. And then it was – I felt good so I went about my day and got it back to under par,' he said. The golfer said he will be limiting his intake of the supplement in future, calling the events of the day a 'pretty crazy story.' 'I don't think I'll be taking too much creatine in the future. I will take it, but not in the amount that I probably did on the golf course, which wasn't probably a healthy amount.'

North Philadelphia native aims to change lives during his experience at Temple University
Temple University is welcoming its largest freshman class yet. One of the incoming students, a North Philadelphia native and Gates Scholar, hopes to change lives without leaving his neighborhood. "It's common to see people say they want to fight for change, and they end up leaving and giving up on the community, and that is something I really don't want to do," George Lane said. Lane has always had his eyes set on staying close to home when it came to choosing a college. "Being from North Philly, that's as good as it gets to me," Lane said. "If you ask me, it's the best neighborhood in Philly." The neighborhood is home to Temple University, an R1 school ranked in the top 4% for research – something close to Lane's heart. "My dream job is – I want to be an oncologist, a cancer research doctor," he said. "Fox Chase Center is one of the best centers in the country." Lane is entering the school's nursing program. His dreams were inspired by his two late brothers, one who died from desmoplastic sarcoma, a rare cancer, and the other from gun violence. "A lot of people say I'm a reincarnation of both of them," Lane said. His advocacy work, a simple project his freshman year called Enough Is Enough, soon became a school-wide movement. It caught the attention of the mayor's office and landed him an internship with Councilmember Isaiah Thomas. But the biggest payoff was a Gates Scholarship. Lane is one of two people in his class to receive the prestigious honor, covering all costs to Temple University. "Being able to go to school financial-burden free," he said, "I don't have to put stress on my family." The first in his family to attend college, Lane passed on Ivy League and prestigious schools like Morehouse, University of Pennsylvania, Harvard, Columbia and Emory. Lane is grounded in his Islamic faith, family and community. These next four years, he's focused on giving back to the same community that poured into him. "Temple is like a second place to home," he said. "I really wanted to stay and show that you don't have to leave Philly in order to be successful." Lane is one of 6,000 students joining the Temple Owl family this year. He hopes to eventually attend medical school and work at Fox Chase Cancer Center, but for now, he's focused on moving into his dorm.
