Excerpt

Change in tumour volume may be a relatively late manifestation of chemotherapy response in patients with inoperable breast cancer. Recent studies suggest that quantifying water apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), microvessel permeability (Ktrans) or water to fat signal ratio (WFR), using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging or spectroscopy, may provide an early indication of ultimate treatment response. …

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.
