Excerpt

We identified five novel breast cancer susceptibility loci in a recent Genome Wide Association Study [1] using 227,876 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and up to 50,000 female breast cancer cases and controls from 22 studies. …

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.
