Naoto Ueno, Director of the University of Hawaii Cancer Center, shared on LinkedIn:
”I was pleased to share my perspectives with ‘Cancer Drug Resistance’ on ADC resistance and the future of cancer therapy.
We discussed how tumor evolution and the tumor microenvironment influence treatment resistance, and how emerging approaches – including next-generation ADCs, rational combinations, and new translational models – may help us stay ahead of resistance.
Our goal is simple: understand resistance so we can design better treatments for our patients.”
