Welcome to OncLive On Air! Im your host today, Caroline Seymour.

OncLive On Air is a podcast from OncLive, which provides oncology professionals with the resources and information they need to provide the best patient care. In both digital and print formats, OncLive covers every angle of oncology practice, from new technology to treatment advances to important regulatory decisions.

In todays episode, we spoke with William J. Gradishar, MD, the Betsy Bramsen Professor of Breast Oncology, chief of Hematology and Oncology, and a professor of hematology and oncology in the Department of Medicine at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University.

In our exclusive interview, Dr Gradishar emphasized the importance of defining metastatic breast cancer subtypes and discussed the implications of molecular testing and genetics on treatment decisions. He also explained the process of determining disease subtypes as breast cancer cases shift from early-stage to metastatic, and highlighted the need for honest and comprehensive patient-provider communication about therapeutic options and clinical trial opportunities throughout the course of disease.
