- - The GET-WEL Program aimed to help Black and White breast cancer survivors (BCS) lose weight but saw lower enrollment and weight loss among Black participants compared to White participants, prompting the need for understanding barriers and facilitators to equitable participation.
- - A study conducted semi-structured interviews with 24 BCS who did or did not participate in GET-WEL, revealing no major differences between Black and White participants in their experiences, but highlighting common barriers like lack of program awareness and challenges accessing healthy food.
- - Findings suggest that increasing awareness of the program and providing resources for healthy food access and work/life balance could improve enrollment and support healthy lifestyles for minoritized BCS in future GET-WEL implementations.
Background: Rates of pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for breast cancer have improved, especially among human epidermal growth factor 2-positive (HER2+) and triple-negative subtypes. The frequency and significance of biomarker profile change in residual disease are unclear. This study aimed to determine the rate of biomarker profile changes after NAC and the impact on clinical outcomes in a contemporary cohort.
