Genetic test could match men to more effective cancer drug
Disease control OngoingThis study is testing whether a genetic test can identify men with advanced prostate cancer who are most likely to benefit from a specific chemotherapy drug called carboplatin. It involves two parts: first, screening patients for specific inherited genetic changes, and second, tr…
