Two-Week Breast Cancer Test Predicts Recurrence, Personalizes Treatment
A new test, after two weeks of hormone therapy, identifies breast cancer patients (6% of 213 studied) whose Luminal B tumors don't change subtype, indicating a need for intensive treatment; this impacts around 200,000 ER-positive, HER2-positive breast cancer cases globally yearly.
