ADCs deliver cytotoxic payloads to breast and ovarian tumor cells expressing specific antigens, reducing systemic damage compared with conventional chemotherapy. Cleavable linkers may enable payload distribution to nearby cells. Fifteen ADCs are described in preclinical breast/ovarian studies, with some showing promising early-phase clinical results and ongoing Phase I–II investigations.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/healthcare/","Healthcare",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/understanding-the-promising-role-of-antibody-drug-conjugates-in-breast-and-ovarian-cancer-review-of-preclinical-findings-and-early-clinical-strategies/381851/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/understanding-the-promising-role-of-antibody-drug-conjugates-in-breast-and-ovarian-cancer-review-of-preclinical-findings-and-early-clinical-strategies/381851.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Franzy","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-29","2026-09-24",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",9,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What are antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and how do they work in breast and ovarian cancer?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"ADCs are targeted anticancer therapies that connect an antibody to a cytotoxic payload using a linker.

Progressive linker technology led to the advancement of more efficacious and safer treatments. It offers neoteric as well as encouraging therapeutic strategies for treating cancer. ADCs selectively administer a medication by targeting antigens which are abundantly articulated on the membrane surface of tumor cells. Tumor-specific antigens are differently expressed in breast and ovarian cancers and can be utilized to direct ADCs. Compared to conventional chemotherapeutic drugs, this approach enables optimal tumor targeting while minimizing systemic damage. A cleavable linker improves the ADCs because it allows the toxic payload to be distributed to nearby cells that do not express the target protein, operating on assorted tumors with dissimilar cell aggregation. Presently fifteen ADCs are being studied in breast and ovarian carcinoma preclinically, and assortment of few have already undergone promising early-phase clinical trial testing. Furthermore, Phase I and II studies are investigating a wide variety of ADCs, and preliminary findings are encouraging. An expanding sum of ADCs will probably become feasible therapeutic choices as solo agents or in conjunction with chemotherapeutic agents. This review accentuates the mostrecent preclinical findings, pharmacodynamics, and upcoming applications of ADCs in breast and ovarian carcinoma. |\n\n* Corresponding author.  \n** Corresponding author.  \nE-mail addresses: [tapanbehl31@gmail.com](tapanbehl31@gmail.com) (T.
