Scientists hunt for clues when cancer drugs fail

NCT ID NCT00897702

Summary

This study aimed to understand why certain breast cancer drugs eventually stop working for patients. Researchers analyzed tumor samples from people whose cancer progressed despite treatment with targeted therapies or hormone-blocking drugs. By studying these samples, they hoped to learn how cancers become resistant, which could guide the development of better future treatments.
