Tissue-agnostic drug approvals: how does this apply to patients with breast cancer?

Abstract Precision medicine has provided new perspectives in oncology, yielding research on the use of targeted therapies across different tumor types, regardless of their site of origin, a concept known as tissue-agnostic indication. Since 2017, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved t...

Since 2017, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of three different agents for tumor-agnostic treatment: pembrolizumab (for patients with microsatellite instability or high tumor mutational burden) and larotrectinib and entrectinib (both for use in patients harboring tumors with NTRK fusions).
