24-hour Test Predicts Breast Cancer’s Likely Response To Chemotherapy
24-hour Test Predicts Breast Cancer’s Likely Response To Chemotherapy
A new test has been developed which can predict whether a breast cancer patient will respond to chemotherapy within 24-hours of starting treatment, thus sparing her unnecessary treatment and side effects, according to a study published in the medical journal Clinical Cancer Research. The test can also determine whether the woman can benefit from PARP-inhibitors, a promising new type of cancer …

Breakthrough Method Predicts Risk Of Invasive Breast Cancer
Breakthrough Method Predicts Risk Of Invasive Breast Cancer
For the first time, scientists have discovered a way to predict whether women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) – the most common form of non-invasive breast cancer – are at risk of developing more invasive tumors in later years.As a result of the finding, women with DCIS will have the opportunity to be more selective about their treatment, according to the scientists.”Women will have much …
