As a medical, biochemical, and pharmaceutical acronym, ADC stands for Antibody-Drug Conjugate. Beyond biopharmaceuticals, the exact same three letters can represent entirely different terms depending on the contextual field; for instance, in electronics and computing, ADC stands for Analog-to-Digital Converter, while in aviation and navigation it refers to an Air Data Computer. However, within oncology and drug development discussions, it refers exclusively to targeted antibody-payload cancer therapies.
