Blood cell counts may reveal hidden cancer risk in triple negative breast cancer

NCT ID NCT04068623

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether certain blood cell counts and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes can help predict if triple negative breast cancer will come back. Researchers will collect blood samples from 90 women after radiation and at the time of any first recurrence. The goal is to find a simple, inexpensive way to identify patients at higher risk of metastatic recurrence.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ€” not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple blood test to help predict which patients are at higher risk of their breast cancer returning.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It is small (90 people) and only looks at correlations, so it may not lead to a reliable test.
