WEDNESDAY, Sept. 18, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- Women with early stage breast cancer may now take Kisquali, a medication already approved for advanced disease, following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's expanded approval of the treatment, drug maker Novartis announced Tuesday.
“The FDA approval of Kisqali for this early breast cancer population, including those with NO [hasn't spread to nearby lymph nodes] disease, is a pivotal moment in improving our approach to care,” said Dr. Dennis Slamon, director of clinical/translational research at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and lead investigator on the company's trial of the drug.
