Blood test–guided monitoring for metastatic breast cancer treatment
This study checks whether specific blood “tumor marker” levels can help monitor how hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer responds to first-line therapy. It uses regular blood tests (and sometimes scans) to see if this marker-based monitoring is useful and reliable.

What taking part in a metastatic brain tumor study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
