As an editor is a true honor to learn from others and see their efforts to improve care.”
Quoting JAMA Oncology’s post:
“Radiation therapy followed by intrathecal trastuzumab and pertuzumab for HER2+ breast leptomeningeal disease is safe with initial intracranial control results that appear encouraging.”
