Can earlier ESR1 mutation detection help delay progression and preserve quality of life? In this episode of CHM Conversations, Dr. Hope Rugo and Dr. Rebecca Shatsky discuss the evolving role of oral SERDs and ctDNA monitoring in HR+ mBC.

The conversation centers on the SERENA-6 trial and the strategy of identifying ESR1 mutations before radiographic progression. Dr. Rugo and Dr. Shatsky explore how intervening earlier with camizestrant—while maintaining the CDK4/6 inhibitor backbone—may prolong progression-free survival and delay the transition to more intensive chemotherapy or ADCs.

The clinicians examine how these mutations develop as acquired resistance and discuss the broader shift away from the traditional “wait for progression” approach. They also address the real-world logistics of precision medicine, including testing frequency, quantitative monitoring, and the potential to reduce the frequency of traditional scans.

A valuable discussion for oncology clinicians navigating endocrine resistance and the future of biomarker-driven care in metastatic breast cancer.
