Developing Story: From CLEOPATRA to Life on Enhertu – HER2+ MBC with Dr. Erika Hamilton & Dr. Sarah Premji
wenty-five years ago, HER2-positive breast cancer meant a two-year death sentence. Today, patients are living 12+ years on first-line treatment—and some are being cured.
In this deep dive, host Victoria Goldberg (living with metastatic HER2+ cancer for 12 years) and leading oncologists Dr. Erika Hamilton and Dr. Sarah Premji unpack the drugs, trials, and real-world strategies transforming one of cancer's most feared diagnoses into its greatest success story.
From CLEOPATRA's game-changing 16-month survival boost to antibody-drug conjugates that deliver chemotherapy straight to cancer cells, learn how precision medicine is rewriting the rules—and what patients need to know about side effects, sequencing, and hope.
Developing Story: Triple Negative MBC - Hard Truths, Real Hope with Dr Sarah Premji
Triple negative metastatic breast cancer has long been considered the hardest subtype to treat. That is changing and faster than most patients realize. Dr. Sarah Premji joins Victoria Goldberg to break down two landmark FDA approvals, the science behind antibody-drug conjugates, and what's coming next in the pipeline
Developing Story: Beyond Camizestrant — The Evolving Landscape of ER+/HER2- MBC with Dr. Sarah Premji
The oral SERD era has arrived, and the treatment landscape for HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer is changing fast. Hosts Victoria Goldberg and Abigail Johnston sit down with Dr. Sarah Premji of Sarah Cannon to map out what has shifted beyond SERENA-6, from new FDA approvals and emerging mechanisms to real-world sequencing decisions and the latest trial data. If you are trying to make sense of a rapidly evolving algorithm, this episode is for you.
Developing Story: The Camizestrant Vote, Doctors Weigh In with Dr. Sarah Sammons & Dr. Neil Vasan
When the ODAC voted 6–3 against the camizestrant strategy, the headlines told you what happened — this episode tells you why. We're back for round two with Dr. Sarah Sammons, newly appointed Co-Leader of Breast Oncology at the University of Maryland Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Dr. Neil Vasan, Acting Chair of the ODAC and Director of Translational Research in Breast Cancer at NYU Langone Health, who sat in that room and cast one of the three yes votes. Alongside patient advocates Janice Cowden and Abigail Johnston, we break down the four FDA critiques that drove the vote, what the quality of life data showed and why regulators couldn't act on it, and what the FDA's new August 14th review deadline means for patients. Plus: why this science isn't going anywhere, and what ctDNA-guided treatment could look like in the very near future.
Developing Story: The Camizestrant Vote — When Your Blood Test Knows Before Your Scan Does
Six MBC patient advocates join host Victoria Goldberg to break down the FDA advisory committee's vote on camizestrant and the SERENA-6 trial. The panel unpacks what the vote really means, whether the science of molecular progression is ready for clinical practice, and why patient advocates need a seat at the table before trials are designed.
