This will be a case-based panel session, with a surgeon, a medical oncologist and a radiation oncologist. Each speaker will review the current and ongoing studies addressing treatment de-intensification in their area of expertise. The surgery discussion will focus on omission of axillary surgery and appropriate patient selection for this approach. The medical oncologist will discuss endocrine therapy options including aromatase inhibitors and tamoxifen (including "baby tam" low dose tamoxifen), and will also address the issue of endocrine therapy adherence. Finally the radiation oncologist will present data regarding radiation de-intensification and the ongoing studies evaluating the option of radiation without endocrine therapy. At the end of the presentations, the moderator will present a series of cases and each panelist will describe their treatment recommendation and the rationale. At the end a summary of salient points will be provided by the moderator.
