Major Advances in Breast Cancer Treatment: Trodelvy and Keytruda Show Promising Results

Recent studies reveal significant breakthroughs in treating aggressive forms of breast cancer, particularly metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). A combination therapy of Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan) and Keytruda (pembrolizumab) has demonstrated a 35% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death compared to chemotherapy combined with Keytruda in patients with PD-L1-positive TNBC. The ASCENT-03 trial has met its primary endpoint, further supporting this combination as a new standard of care. Medical experts at the ASCO conference recognized these results as practice-changing, paving the way for a shift in treatment protocols and enhancing chances for patients facing this aggressive cancer type.
