Excerpt

Previously we identified MCPH1, a DNA damage response protein involved in the regulation of BRCA1 and BRCA2, as the defective protein in one form of microcephaly. BRCA1 mutations are associated with basal-like breast cancer, which are often also negative for oestrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and HER2. Our data indicate that MCPH1 plays a role in response to chemotherapeutic agents used in the treatment of breast cancer due to its role in DNA repair and the spindle checkpoint. …

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.
