Laurence Buisseret: Progress and Challenges in Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy for Breast Cancer

Laurence Buisseret, Director of the Medical Oncology Department at Institut Jules Bordet, shared on LinkedIn:

“Over the past few years, we have witnessed a major shift in the treatment of early breast cancer. Neoadjuvant strategies have demonstrated substantial clinical benefit, particularly in triple-negative and HER2-positive disease. More recently, the addition of ICI to standard chemotherapy has become a new standard of care in early TNBC, with a significant improvement in overall survival.

Despite these advances, many questions remain.

  •  How can we better identify the patients who will benefit most?
  • Which biomarkers should guide treatment decisions?
  •  Can we optimize treatment intensity and develop more effective combination strategies?

In this new review, Manon de Graaf provides a comprehensive overview of neoadjuvant immunotherapy across breast cancer subtypes, discussing the current evidence, emerging biomarkers, and future opportunities to further improve patient outcomes.
It was a pleasure to contribute to this work alongside Marleen Kok and Alex De Caluwé.

The paper will be freely available in the coming days-worth a read!”
