The Twenty-third Annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.

This paper reviews the recent Twenty-third Annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. A total of 580 studies were presented either orally or as posters. Two phase III multi-centre clinical trials found that fulvestrant (Falsodex), given as a once-monthly intramuscular injection (250 mg), was well-tolerated and at least as good as anastrozole (1 mg) in postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer that had progressed or recurred on prior endocrine therapy. Another phase III randomised trial found that letrozole (2.5 mg daily) was superior to tamoxifen as a neoadjuvant therapy in postmenopausal women with ER- and/or PgR-positive breast cancer unsuitable for breast-conserving surgery. In a phase III study, capecitabine (Xeloda) was found to be well-tolerated and able to improve survival by three months when added to Taxotere. Cutting edge data on microarray gene profiling in breast cancer were presented. The potential role of this new technology in predicting outcome and selecting therapy was discussed. Furthermore, its limitations and the need for validation were highlighted. The role of new diagnostic tools, such as fibre-optic ductoscopy (FDS) and microcatheters to obtain ductal cells, was discussed. Finally, the worldwide overview was presented.[1]
