The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a new medication to treat breast cancer.
This new approval is called Enhertu (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki).
The FDA approved Enhertu to treat adults with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer that cannot be removed with surgery or has spread to other parts of the body.
HER2-positive breast cancer is aggressive and accounts for an estimated 20 percent of breast cancers, according to the FDA.
