New chemo combo tested to wipe out tough breast cancer before surgery

NCT ID NCT03301350

Summary

This study tested a specific sequence of four chemotherapy drugs given before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) for people with triple-negative breast cancer, a type that doesn't respond to hormone therapies. The main goal was to see if this treatment could completely eliminate the invasive cancer in the breast and lymph nodes by the time of surgery. Researchers also tracked how well patients tolerated the treatment and whether the cancer stayed away for two years after treatment.
