Breast Cancer | Age 35

35 year old post lumpectomy with 1cm TN, gr 3, N0 disease. I proceeded with TC x 4 but am always torn with these tumors 1-2cm. Generally I opt for TC less than 1 and AC-T over 1cm for TN. After reviewing Plan B and success C, now I’m wondering if for these 1-2cm, should I be pushing more for TC x 6 so as to not have any inferior DFS?

MDS/MPN | Age 65
MPN Specialist
Hematologist, Oncologist
65M w/ MDS/MPN-unspecified (5-10% blasts on marrow, normal karyotype but 7 tier 1 molecular lesions). Not a transplant candidate. He has a very proliferative phenotype. Symptoms have improved with hydrea and then 2 rounds of decitabine but he has become transfusion dependent (1-2 pRBCs/week), WBC remains >80k, and repeat marrow is unchanged with >95% cellularity and 8% blasts. Do you think Ven/Aza is appropriate?
