  • what an antibody-drug conjugate is
  • results from the DESTINY-Breast03 study, showing Enhertu more than doubled the 12-month progression-free survival rate compared to Kadcyla in people diagnosed with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer that had been previously treated
  • results from the BrighTNess study, showing adding carboplatin to chemotherapy before surgery improves progression-free survival.
