Summary

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a new class of monoclonal antibodies with the characteritic to specifically target tumor cells and to deliver a cytotoxic drug directly to the target cell thereby minimising side effects and improving the therapeutic index. In recent years, many new ADCs have been approved and are established therapeutic tools in lymphoma treatment.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on antibody–drug conjugates in cancer

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) are novel agents that have shown promise across multiple tumor types. Explore the current landscape of ADCs in breast and lung cancer with our experts, and gain insights into the mechanism of action, key clinical trials data, existing challenges, and future directions.
