Immune clues in breast tumors could forecast chemo outcomes
NCT ID NCT07404462
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 171 women with early breast cancer to see if immune cells inside tumors are linked to how well chemotherapy works. Researchers also checked if certain markers in the blood could help predict cancer return. The goal was to better understand which patients might benefit most from treatment.

Who is studied
The study population includes adult patients with histologically confirmed early breast cancer treated at the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana who are candidates for standard-of-care neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Participants are enrolled prospectively and followed through surgery and subsequent follow-up to assess pathological complete response (pCR) and associations with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and circulating biomarkers.
