Michael and Josh continue their examination of the crème-de-la-crème of the European Society of Medical Oncology conference of 2023. Today they focus on metastatic breast cancer, with a particular focus on antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). T-Dxd, Dato-Dxd and trastuzumab duocarmazine are just three of the many novel agents in this space, and likely represent part of the future (and the present) of medical oncology. How effective are these treatments? Will the final results of the TULIP study blossom like its namesake? Will T-Dxd fulfil its DESTINY and become a treatment option for HER-2 low advanced breast cancer? Will Dato-Dxd assist in making cancer BEGON(IA)? For more excellent puns and the answers to these questions and more, listen on!
