Gene test could predict which breast cancers resist common drug

NCT ID NCT05183828

Summary

This study aims to understand if a specific gene mutation (HSD3B1) makes the breast cancer drug letrozole less effective. Postmenopausal women with early-stage, hormone-sensitive breast cancer will take letrozole for a few weeks before their standard surgery. Researchers will compare tumor samples before and after treatment to see if the gene mutation changes how the cancer responds.
