Cohort 1 consisted of IHC 2+/FISH negative tumors and Cohort 2 enrolled IHC 1+/FISH negati...

A recent analysis of a cohort of Asian patients with Her2 low gastric/GEJ cancers enrolled in the Des...

While preliminary in nature, the publication from Yamaguchi and colleagues, PMID 36379002 supports the benefit of T-Dxd for ...
