161 players. 3 days. $39,000+ raised for breast cancer care at Duke. 💗 Thank you to everyone who came out to @dukefacultyclub for Pickle for Pink! Head to @duke_pickleforpink for photos from the weekend. 🏓

ALT Three people stand on a pickleball court smiling, holding pickleball paddles. Two are wearing Duke-branded clothing. A child is being held by one of the adults. The background shows another court and trees with some autumn leaves.

ALT A banner hanging on a chain-link fence displays the text "Pixie Dust" with the purpose of benefitting Duke Breast Surgery and Oncology. Logos of sponsoring companies are visible, including Wicked Weed Brewing, Stryker, Atalaxis, Novartis, Gilead, Monolow, Wegmans, JOOLA, and AstraZeneca. Trees and the sky can be seen in the background. There is also a stylized pink image on the right.
A Duke-led trial found that adding tucatinib to standard treatment delayed progression of brain metastases in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. More than half remained progression-free after nearly 20 months.
