Summary

This study looks at whether the phase of a woman's menstrual cycle when she starts chemotherapy affects how well the treatment works for breast cancer. Researchers will collect a blood sample from 100 premenopausal women with triple-negative breast cancer on the day they begin neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The goal is to see if the timing is linked to a higher chance of a complete response.
