Blood test could unlock new treatment for tough breast cancers
NCT ID NCT01975142
Summary
This study tested whether a blood test could find patients with metastatic breast cancer who might benefit from a targeted drug, even if their original tumor test suggested they wouldn't. Researchers looked for specific cancer cells in the blood of 155 patients whose cancer was classified as HER2-negative. If those cells were found, patients received the drug T-DM1 to see if it helped control their cancer.
