New scans aim to predict which breast cancer patients will respond to chemo

NCT ID NCT02744053

Summary

This early study is testing whether two advanced imaging scans can predict how well chemotherapy will work for patients with triple-negative breast cancer before they have surgery. The goal is to see if these scans can identify which patients are likely to respond to treatment. Researchers will compare these new scans to standard imaging methods to find the best way to assess treatment response early.
