Fifteen to thirty percent of all patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) develop brain metastases (BCBMs). Recently, the antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) sacituzumab govitecan (SG) and trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) have shown be highly effective in treatment MBC. However, there are only limited data whether these macromolecules also BCBMs. We therefore aimed examine efficacy SG T-DXd stable active BCBMs a multicenter real-world analysis.
