Excerpt

Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease for which several forms have recently been identified on the basis of their gene expression characteristics [1]. We have previously demonstrated that protein expression characteristics can be used to identify comparable classes [2]. In the present study we extend this approach using improved biostatistical methods to confirm the validity of such an approach and to further define the key criteria for class membership. …

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.
