Blood test could reveal hidden treatment option for breast cancer
NCT ID NCT01975142
Summary
This study tested whether a blood test could identify metastatic breast cancer patients who might benefit from a targeted drug, even when their original tumor test suggested they wouldn't. Researchers screened 155 patients with HER2-negative breast cancer using a blood test that looks for cancer cells with a specific marker (HER2). Patients whose blood showed these special cancer cells received the drug T-DM1 to see if it helped control their cancer.
