Discovery of breast cancer treatment resistance mechanism could lead to new hope for someDiscovery of breast cancer treatment resistance mechanism could lead to new hope for some

These treatments pair an antibody that targets cancer cells with a strong chemotherapy drug. For many patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2+) breast cancers, ADCs such as trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) have dramatically improved outcomes.
