Choosing Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Versus Hormonal Therapy for Breast Cancer Based on Gene Expression Profile
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Neoadjuvant Therapy, Therapeutic Conventional Surgery, and 5 other interventions for Ductal Breast Carcinoma in Situ and 6 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 59 participants across 8 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
This randomized pilot clinical trial studied whether the Oncotype DX gene expression "Recurrence Score" (RS) would be useful for helping make a decision about which type of pre-operative treatment, hormone therapy or chemotherapy would be a better for patients with hormone responsive cancers that were not suitable for breast conserving surgery. The RS is currently used to predict the risk of distant recurrence and the benefit of the addition of chemotherapy to hormonal therapy in the adjuvant setting.
