This study looks at genetic material from spinal fluid to better understand breast cancer that has spread to the brain or its lining. It may help doctors find new ways to treat this type of cancer.
This study follows patients with breast cancer that has spread to the brain and who have already received the drug Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG). The goal is to learn how well SG works in real-world settings and to see how patients are doing over time.
This trial uses an MRI scan to look for early signs of breast cancer spreading to the brain in people with certain aggressive breast cancer types (triple-negative or HER2-positive) that are stage IIb or III. The goal is to find and treat brain metastases earlier, before they cause symptoms.
This trial tests whether regular brain MRI scans can help detect brain metastases early in patients with stage IV breast cancer who do not yet have any known brain metastases. The goal is to see if early detection improves outcomes.
This study looks at whether routine brain scans can help manage breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. It aims to find brain metastases early in people with certain types of high-risk breast cancer, even before symptoms appear.
