In June 2018, researchers presented new findings from the TAILORx clinical trial at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO®) meeting, which found that women with hormone positive, node negative, HER2 normal breast cancer may not need chemotherapy.
This research presents an excellent opportunity to pitch one of your experts to local or regional media and/or conduct a Facebook Live interview to answer common questions about breast cancer, including updated information on suggested treatment strategies. Below are talking points for experts to use while being interviewed.

Learn more about the study from Sarah Cannon experts at the ASCO Annual Meeting in this Facebook Live video.

TALKING POINTS

• Why is the TAILORx trial important? What do the findings suggest?
o The trial studied 10,200 women with hormone receptor positive breast cancer that had not spread to the lymph nodes and was not positive for the HER2 gene amplification. The group of 6,700 intermediate risk women were randomized to receive hormonal therapy alone or in combination with chemotherapy. After nine years of follow-up, 83.3% of the women who were treated with hormonal therapy versus 84.3% of those who also received chemotherapy were still cancer free, demonstrating no statistical benefit for the addition of chemotherapy. These results mean that approximately 60,000 women each year in the U.S. could be spared the side effects of chemotherapy.

• How many women with breast cancer no long need chemotherapy?
o These results mean that approximately 60,000 women each year in the U.S. could be spared the side effects of chemotherapy.

• Additional takeaways?
o Women with hormone receptor positive, node negative, not positive for the HER2 gene amplification, should continue to have their tumors tested with a prognostic assay such as OncotypeDX.
o Breast cancer experts discussing the trial at the ASCO meeting urged that younger women, under the age of 50, with recurrence scores toward the higher end of the intermediate risk group should still discuss and consider chemotherapy with their physicians

What is postpartum depression?
Many women have feelings of sadness after childbirth, ranging from brief, mild baby blues to the longer-lasting, deeper depression known as postpartum depression (PPD).

What are the causes of PPD?
The cause of PPD is unclear. Like baby blues, PPD is thought to be related to the hormone changes that happen during and after birth. These rapid hormone shifts can lead to sadness, anxiety and depression that is more severe and lasts longer than baby blues.

You may have an increased chance of developing PPD if you have:
• A prior history of depression or PPD
• A prior history of anxiety disorders
• A family history of mood disorders
• Stress or conflict at home or with your partner
• Problems breastfeeding your baby

When to call the doctor
If feelings of sadness or depression are strong, if they last throughout most of the day for days in a row or if they last longer than a week or two, talk to your doctor. A new mother who feels like giving up, who feels that life is not worth living or who has thoughts of hurting herself or her child needs to tell her doctor right away.

Symptoms
The most common symptoms are:
• Feeling angry, irritable, anxious or sad
• A sense of guilt, shame or hopelessness
• Appetite or sleep difficulties
• Loss of interest or pleasure in life
• Obsessive, unreasonable thoughts
• Repetitive fears about your child’s health and welfare
• Poor concentration, memory loss and difficulty making decisions

Serious symptoms that may need immediate care, include:
• Lack of interest in your infant
• Fear of hurting or killing yourself or your child
• Thoughts of death or su***de
• Hallucinations or delusions
• Loss of contact with reality

Treatment
With treatment, a woman can feel like herself again. Treatment may include talk therapy, medication or both. In addition, eating a healthy diet, getting exercise and enough rest, and finding social support can be very helpful.

To help lower your chances of PPD:
• Talk to your doctor about a plan or medicines if you have a prior history of depression
• Talk to a counselor before you have your baby
• Get support from your partner or other loved ones
• Get regular exercise during pregnancy
• Find ways to relax and lessen stress
• Plan to breastfeed your baby

To help a partner with PPD:
• Reassure her that the condition is not her fault, she is not alone and she will feel better
• Encourage her to talk about her feelings
• Help with housework without being asked
• Encourage her to take time for herself
• Help her reach out to others for support and treatment
• Offer simple affection and physical comfort; be patient if she is not craving affection or s*x
