Link between Immune Cells and HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer
Dr. Gaia Griguolo will discuss her research and review the poster “Association of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and immune signatures with PAM50 intrinsic subtyping hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/HER2-negative (HER2-) early breast cancer (BC): A translational analysis of two multicentric neoadjuvant trial” which was presented at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting (ASCO). This session will explore findings from two neoadjuvant trials, focusing on how the addition of immunotherapy to chemotherapy can benefit high-risk patients. Join us to review the poster and engage in a discussion on these important findings.

Gaia GriguoloBreast Cancer Oncologist at the Veneto Institute of Oncology, Junior Faculty member of the Department of Surgery, Oncology and Gastroenterology of the University of PadovaGaia is a breast cancer oncologist at the Veneto Institute of Oncology and a Junior Faculty member of the Department of Surgery, Oncology and Gastroenterology of the University of Padova. Gaia earned her MD from the University of Padova (Italy) in 2012 and completed subspecialty training in medical oncology at the University of Padova in 2018. During her training, she developed a strong interest in clinical research which she consolidated during her one-year fellowship at the Early Phase Clinical Trial Unit at IOSI (Oncology Institute of Southern Switzerland) in Bellinzona, Switzerland.
Gaia has collaborated in several translation research projects related to the characterization of the breast cancer immune microenvironment and biological heterogeneity, both during her training at the University of Padova and during a six-month fellowship at the Translational Genomics and Targeted Therapeutics in Solid Tumors Laboratory at IDIBAPS-Barcelona, Spain. Over the last few years, she deeply involved herself in clinical research on the topic of breast cancer related brain metastasis, a key unmet need for metastatic breast cancer patients, which has been her main research focus as principal investigator. In her spare time, Gaia enjoys spending time with her family and reading in the company of her cat.
