Yixian Breast Cancer Conference 2025 | Professor Chang Gong: Stratified Optimization and Precision Escalation/De-Escalation in HER2-Positive Breast Cancer

Yixian Breast Cancer Conference 2025 | Professor Chang Gong: Stratified Optimization and Precision Escalation/De-Escalation in HER2-Positive Breast Cancer

HER2-positive breast cancer was once associated with aggressive behavior and poor prognosis. However, with the rapid advancement of targeted therapies—particularly antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs)—this subtype has evolved into a highly treatable and potentially curable disease. In 2025, landmark studies across neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and metastatic settings have reshaped treatment paradigms toward greater precision and individualization. During the 2025 Yixian Breast Cancer Conference and CSCO BC South Forum, Oncology Frontier interviewed Professor Chang Gong from Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, who summarized the most impactful annual advances in HER2-positive breast cancer treatment.

Northern Breast Cancer Forum 2026 | Professor Peng Yuan: Driving Clinical Transformation Through “Three New Forces” and Anticipating Key Updates in the 2026 CSCO Breast Cancer Guidelines

Northern Breast Cancer Forum 2026 | Professor Peng Yuan: Driving Clinical Transformation Through “Three New Forces” and Anticipating Key Updates in the 2026 CSCO Breast Cancer Guidelines

As China’s flagship academic event in breast cancer at the start of each year, the Northern Breast Cancer Forum continues to bridge global scientific advances with localized clinical practice. From the SERENA-6 trial, which pioneers molecular monitoring for endocrine resistance, to the rapid rise of Trop-2–targeted ADCs and expanded access to PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway inhibitors under national insurance coverage, the past year has witnessed profound shifts in breast cancer management.
Professor Yongsheng Wang: What Has Changed—and What Remains—in Breast Cancer Surgery?

Professor Yongsheng Wang: What Has Changed—and What Remains—in Breast Cancer Surgery?

Breast cancer has recently surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women worldwide. The status of regional lymph node involvement remains a key prognostic factor, directly influencing disease staging, treatment planning, and survival outcomes. While axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) has long been the standard for staging, it carries substantial morbidity. As modern breast surgery moves toward precision and minimally invasive approaches, sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has replaced ALND as the preferred axillary staging strategy, significantly reducing surgical trauma and complications.
