Official Title: Megakaryocytes and Platelets, Harmful or Helpful in Breast Cancer Cell Metastasis
Study ID: NCT06011824
Brief Summary: Determining if Megakaryocytes and Platelets are Harmful or Helpful in Breast Cancer Cell Metastasis
Detailed Description: The purpose of this study is to determine how megakaryocytes (cells in the bone marrow responsible for making platelets, which are necessary for blood clotting) affect the survival and growth/division patterns of breast cancer stem cells, and the effects of breast cancer cells on megakaryocyte survival and function. Through chart review, the study team will look at the relationship between different blood components and different breast cancer diagnoses.
