Welcome to another episode of the Oncology Brothers podcast! In this episode, Drs.

•⁠  ⁠Who should be tested for HER2 positivity and how to classify HER2-positive disease.
•⁠  ⁠The role of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) in determining HER2 status.
•⁠  ⁠Current treatment options for HER2-positive biliary tract cancer, including the latest clinical trials and approved therapies like trastuzumab deruxtecan and zanidatamab.
•⁠  ⁠The significance of patient-centered decision-making and managing side effects associated with these treatments.
