Sacituzumab Govitecan
for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
This trial is testing a drug called sacituzumab govitecan-hziy, which targets and kills cancer cells. It focuses on patients with advanced triple-negative breast cancer who have limited treatment options. The drug works by attaching to cancer cells and releasing a substance that kills them. Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy is an FDA-approved treatment for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, especially for patients who have already tried other treatments.

Chemotherapy + Hormone Therapy
for Breast Cancer
This trial is testing if adding additional cancer-fighting drugs to treatments that stop certain body functions is better than just using the treatments that stop those functions alone. It targets younger women with early-stage breast cancer who have a higher risk of dying from the disease. The treatment works by stopping certain body functions and using drugs to kill cancer cells.

Radiation Therapy
for Brain Metastasis
This phase III trial compares the effectiveness of fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (FSRS) to usual care stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in treating patients with cancer that has spread from where it first started to the brain. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. FSRS delivers a high dose of radiation to the tumor over 3 treatments. SRS is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor. FSRS may be more effective compared to SRS in treating patients with cancer that has spread to the brain.
