The worst part about the Switch trial proving what we knew to be true about payload resistance is that ADCs are basically all we have as far as control of brain mets and leptomeningeal disease. For our CNS disease patients chemo just doesnt cut it. #ESMO26 #Breastcancer #ADC

What Colleagues Are Saying About Rebecca Shatsky, MD

2026 posts by fellow physicians that mention @Dr_RShatsky, quoted word for word.

I agree with @Dr_RShatsky and @dr_yakupergun in deciding which ADC to use in the residual disease setting port TDXD If there is no response to T-DXd and we suspect that the disease is being driven by an aggressive TNBC-like phenotype, this would be one of the few scenarios in which I would even consider adjuvant AC, which I otherwise rarely use in the Her2+ setting. On the other hand, if ER-positive luminal biology is driving the disease, which is not uncommon, I would love to see future trials incorporating SERDs and CDK4/6 inhibitors into the triple-positive adjuvant setting, particularly as we continue to learn more about the role of endocrine-based strategies in Her2+ from studies such as PATINA. Neratinib is an established option here as well, for extended Her2 blockade.

Case in point for my prior statement on infographics for. AI. This infographic is straight up wrong. VIKTORIA 1 is gedatolisib + fulvestrant+ palbociclib. Not giredestrant +ribo. This stuff has to stop. @ASCO #ASCO2026 https://t.co/lAEJhnPzSb

Rebecca Shatsky, MD’s Most-Engaged Posts in 2026

Their own 2026 posts that fellow physicians reposted most, quoted word for word.

Today was a big day in beast cancer history. The controversy started in premenopausal women by RxPonder is not more. Benefit of chemotherapy in those genomically low risk age 40+ premenopausal patients is due to ovarian suppression. Even in N2 patients, biology wins over stage. The big question is do we all go home and switch to Prosigna???#OPTIMA #ASCO2026 #bcsm #Oncology

Always interesting to see people come up to the microphone with wild very broad questions that aren’t necessarily on topic. 😳. So tough as a moderator to address these #ESMO26 I’m not disagreeing with what said… but. #Breastcancer

Made it to Madrid for #ESMO26 and man am I tired. 9 hour time difference from California. I’m always in awe of my colleagues who basically jump off the plane and start presenting and taking meetings when here I am a zombie. I am excited to hear the update to the #Natalie trial today though!!! #BreastCancer
