Dr. Ballinger Shares Her Top News From ASCO 2024
Tarah Ballinger, MD, discusses what she considers to be the biggest developments from the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting.
Breast cancer was a major area of development at this year's American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. In particular, clinical trials of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) like trastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu; T-DXd) and sacituzumab govitecan (Trodelvy) offered significant insights into treatment options and sequencing for patients with breast cancer.
Tarah Ballinger, MD, is an associate professor of clinical medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine and the Vera Bradley Foundation Scholar in Breast Cancer Research, who specializes in breast medical oncology, shared her highlights from the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting.
