Excerpt

The NHSBSP standards for non-operative diagnosis are a target of 95% for invasive cancers (minimum 90%) and 90% for non-invasive cancer (minimum 85%). The lower target for non-invasive cancers reflects the difficulty in achieving definitive diagnosis of DCIS. Our unit has routinely used vacuum biopsies (VAB) for non-operative diagnosis of microcalcifications. Following an audit in 2009, repeat VAB were extended to B3 cases selected in MDT in order to improve non-operative diagnosis of DCIS. …

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.
