Ask HN: What is the latest on treatment of Metastatic Breast Cancer?

25 hazrmard 8 6/11/2025, 5:23:26 AM

I was reading this recently shared post on the promise of CAR-T therapy for cancer[1]. However, it seems that it may not be universally applicable to all cancers[2], including breast cancer.

What have we discovered (and made available as treatment) for advanced breast cancers?

Not a doctor, but gut microbiome modulation (e.g. fecal microbiota transplantation) is one of the most talked-about adjuncts for (metastatic breast) cancer right now.

https://scholar.google.com/scholar?as_ylo=2022&q=fecal+micro...

--- example:

"Understanding the relationship between breast cancer, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and gut microbiota: a narrative review"

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11557166/ ( Transl Breast Cancer Res. 2024 Oct 21)

  """
  Conclusions
  The composition of gut microbiota could help predict 
  the chance of response to immunotherapy, 
  and modulating gut microbiota has the potential 
  to enhance the  efficacy of chemo-immunotherapy 
  in breast cancer. 
  However, the available data relating to breast cancer 
  are limited. 
  Larger prospective studies are required 
  to further elucidate their role 
  as a biomarker and treatment.

Depends on a lot of things. Subtype, ER, PR, HER2? For triple negative breast cancers some patients may avoid chemo if they have highly active immune system (TILs)

Here is a possibly different (or supplemental) point of view, with repurposed drugs and metabolic interventions. I believed it would be applicable to the breast cancers: https://imahealth.org/research/cancer-care/

Thank you very much! I had been reading up on effect of diet for treatment & management. I like the focus on citations.

Step 1: See Oncologist and take their advice.

Step 2: Definitely don't take internet advice. Disregard the following.

Step 3: Hit the gym

Step 4: Intermittent fasting + 50% fat, 50% protein diet.

Step 5: Ask doctor for a standard run of Fenbendazole or Mebendazole

Step 6: Play with them as much as possible.

then

Right...

So definitely don't listen to this then.

That's literally the joke... Good job.

Funny, considering there are boatloads of crackpots even on HN who actually believe this would work and advocate it all the time. I haven't heard from that dude who comments on everything with that he and his family only eat beef for a while so I assume they died of that great keto diet.
