Where the Rubber Hits the Road: Genomic Biomarkers in Breast Cancer Clinical Decision-Making - Live

November 25, 2025

Webinar Information

Webinar Description

Lisa Carey, MD, FASCO, ScM, offers a clinically grounded tour of how genomic and immune biomarkers are transforming breast cancer care, from early-stage treatment decisions to metastatic disease management. Dr. Lisa Carey reviews the dramatic improvements in survival driven by targeted therapies, the biology underlying intrinsic tumor and immune subtypes, and the strengths and limitations of major biomarker assays in ER-positive, HER2-positive, and triple-negative breast cancers. Using evidence from large genomic datasets and key trials—including CALGB 40601, CALGB 40603, HER2DX development, and ongoing studies such as HARMONY—she illustrates how tumor subtype, immune activation, and molecular heterogeneity influence response to therapy, recurrence risk, and treatment tailoring. The session highlights where biomarkers work well, where they fall short, and what’s coming next, providing clinicians with a practical framework for matching the right patient to the right treatment at the right time.

Learning Objectives

  • Recognize the state of breast cancer treatment and challenges to developing biomarkers to guide therapy.
  • Identify current and emerging predictive and prognostic biomarkers in nonmetastatic breast cancer.
  • Understand the genomic differences between metastatic and nonmetastatic breast cancer and the implications for biomarkerdevelopment.

Activity Directors
This activity has been planned and implemented under the sole supervision of the Course Directors, Jared Weiss, MD; Deborah Marie Stephens, DO; and Kaitlin Morrison, PhD, of the UNC School of Medicine in association with the UNC Office of Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Dr. Weiss is a stockholder in Vesselon, Nuvalent, En Fuego Therapeutics, Vertex, Merus, Revmed; receives consulting fees from AZ, EMD Serono, Nanobiotix, PDS, Amgen, Pharmacosmos, GSK; and receives research grants from Pharmacosmos, Loxo, PDS, Genmab, Iovance, Nurix, TSCAN, Janus, BMS, Summit. These financial relationships have been mitigated. Dr. Stephens has served on advisory boards for Abbvie, AstraZeneca, BeOne, BMS, Genentech, Pfizer, Pharmacyclics, J&J. These were one time consulting efforts, but she is asked periodically to serve on additional boards. She is a consultant for Abbvie and this is an ongoing relationship. She has also received research grants research grants to Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center from BeOne, which are ongoing. Dr. Morrison has no relevant financial relationships with ineligible companies as defined by the ACCME.
