Summary
This study tests a lower daily dose of the chemotherapy drug capecitabine in 40 patients aged 60 or older, or those who are frail, with advanced HER2-negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if this gentler approach can still shrink tumors or slow the disease while reducing harsh side effects. Participants take one pill daily and are monitored every 12 weeks with scans.
