New hope for tough breast cancers: 3-Drug combo tested before surgery

NCT ID NCT02593175

Summary

This study tested whether adding a targeted drug (panitumumab) to two standard chemotherapy drugs could shrink tumors before surgery in patients with triple-negative breast cancer. The treatment was specifically for patients whose cancer didn't respond well to initial chemotherapy. Researchers gave the three-drug combination to 43 patients before surgery to see if it could eliminate cancer cells in the breast and lymph nodes.
