Scientists hunt for proteins that predict breast cancer spread
NCT ID NCT02926547
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study analyzed tissue samples from 108 breast cancer patients to identify proteins linked to early cancer invasion. The goal was to find markers that could help assess the risk of tumor spread in patients without lymph node involvement. Researchers focused on listing the top ten proteins most associated with early invasion phases.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this research could help doctors better predict which breast cancers are likely to spread, potentially guiding treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational, lab-based study, not a treatment trial. The findings are preliminary and may not lead to immediate changes in patient care.
