First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study looks at how the timing of a blood test that detects tumor DNA (ctDNA) affects understanding of prognosis and treatment choices in people with advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer. Researchers will follow 400 participants to see how ctDNA levels and gene mutations relate to survival and treatment response. The goal is to learn whether earlier or later testing provides better information for guiding care.
