In this episode of SurgOnc Today, Drs. Kelly Hewitt and Austin
Williams review key breast cancer presentations from the 2026
Society of Surgical Oncology Annual Meeting.
They discuss real-world implementation of SOUND and INSEMA,
evolving approaches to axillary management in the neoadjuvant
setting, and emerging data on omission of axillary surgery.
Additional highlights include outcomes with partial breast
irradiation in the setting of variable endocrine therapy adherence
and contemporary management of rare breast malignancies such as
angiosarcoma.
Together, they explore how these findings are shaping
multidisciplinary decision-making and the continued evolution of
surgical de-escalation in breast cancer care.
