NCT ID NCT00959556

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study analyzed blood samples from breast cancer patients to find genetic factors that might predict how well they respond to chemotherapy. Researchers looked at patients who had already received standard chemo drugs. The goal was to identify biomarkers that could guide future treatment decisions.
