Summary

This study is for people with triple-negative breast cancer who still have cancer cells after standard chemotherapy. Researchers will use a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) to look for tumor DNA before and during treatment with the drug capecitabine. The goal is to learn whether this test can help identify who is responding to treatment and who might need a different approach to prevent the cancer from coming back.
