Official Title: A Pilot Study of Tumor-Derived Exosomes as Diagnostic and Prognostic Markers in Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
Study ID: NCT01344109
Brief Summary: This is a pilot study evaluating the use of tumor derived exosomes as a marker for response to therapy in women receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy for newly diagnosed breast cancer. Tumor derived exosome analysis may be a novel diagnostic and prognostic biosignature in breast cancer, which could prove to be a tool for earlier diagnosis, more effective treatments, and improved markers of response in order to increase survival rates.
