Survival Outcomes with Pembrolizumab in Early-Stage Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Paolo Tarantino, Research Fellow at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, shared a recent article by Peter Schmid on X:

“OS results of KN-522 out in The New England Journal of Medicine.

Terrific news: adding pembrolizumab to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for TNBC saves lives (5% 5-year Δ).

Bad news: we’re stuck with giving 5 drugs to all patients with stage II-III TNBC, with permanent toxicity for many biomarkers.”
