Testing treatments on mini tumors for breast cancer that has spread
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial uses a special lab technique (called organoids) to grow a mini version of your tumor from a biopsy sample. Researchers will test different treatments on these mini-tumors to see which one might work best for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastases).
- The metastases are either in the brain or in other organs (like liver, lung, or bone).
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove the metastasis or a biopsy (a small sample taken for testing).
- You are 18 years old or older.
