2025 is anticipated to be the year with the highest number of phase 3 ADC trials read outs in breast oncology, with impact for all breast cancer subtypes.

Here’s 8 ADC breast cancer trials expected to reshape practice in 2025:

🧵Welcome to a fun & informative 3-part #BlueThread on how to make 🎯decisions in HR+, HER2- #MBC, based on a case-based #CME activity I developed with @peerview.bsky.social 👉 PeerView.com/AGR. I’ll post 3 case scenarios with a poll ? 📊, you vote 📲, and we’ll discuss each case. Ready?

Now more than ever it's important for communities that support science to band together. The future of cancer health disparity research in the US is in jeopardy. If you're interested in connecting to other disparities researchers on bsky, I can add you to this starter pack 💪🧬🩸💉🔬
