Scientists hunt for clues to predict breast cancer treatment response
NCT ID NCT07387861
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at stored tumor samples from 70 women with a common type of breast cancer (ER-positive, HER2-negative) who received hormone therapy. Researchers want to see if two specific proteins, p-AKT and p-S6, can help tell which cancers will respond to treatment and which will not. The goal is to find better ways to personalize breast cancer care.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients diagnosed with invasive breast carcinoma. * ER-positive and HER2-negative tumor status. * Received adjuvant endocrine therapy as part of routine clinical care. * Archived formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue available from excisional specimens (mastectomy). * Available medical records documenting treatment history and follow-up outcomes. Exclusion Criteria: * Cases with missing or unavailable FFPE tissue blocks. * Cases with insufficient tissue quality for immunohistochemistry (e.g., severely degraded or exhausted FFPE block). * Cases with unknown or incomplete follow-up or treatment data.
