The article presents an expert discussion at the International Consensus Conference for Advanced Breast Cancer (ABC). When asked on his practice changes in metastatic BC, Carlos Barrios cites the heterogeneous nature of cancer when biology is applied to a patient. Renate Haidinger states that PD-L1 testing for triple-negative patients and germline testing for eligible patients impact therapeutic decisions. Joana M. Ribeiro notes the difference of oligometastatic BC and multimetastatic disease.
