Excerpt

The histological grade (HG) in breast cancer provides important prognostic information. However, its interobserver variability and poor reproducibility, especially for tumours of intermediate grade, have limited its clinical potential. We hypothesized that molecular characterization of the grade may allow for full exploitation of the association between the grade and relapse beyond the ability of traditional grading procedures. …

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.
