Data with Enfortumab Vedotin in Patients With Previously Treated Advanced Breast Cancer (HR+/HER2- and TNBC cohorts) from the Phase II EV-202 Study are now published on JCO Oncology Advances @OncoAlert @DFCI_BreastOnc @hoperugo @RitaNandaMD ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/OA-…
It's a good time to remind people about the role of cancer drug repositories. These nonprofits recycle donated meds to patients (after pharmacy quality checking). It saves millions. It requires legislation to support so it's a great state advocacy issue. ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/OP-…
