This trial looks at how radiation therapy affects the thymus, a gland that helps your immune system. If you are a young woman having surgery for breast cancer, you may be able to join and help researchers learn more about preserving immune health.
This study looks at breast cancer samples taken by biopsy to see how tissue “molecular markers” relate to how you respond to therapy and how the cancer behaves. It may help researchers better match future treatments to the biology of your tumor.
This study looks at how the immune system changes in people with breast cancer, using patient tissue samples. It may help researchers understand immune responses in young women and guide future cancer treatments.
This study looks at how your immune system changes while you receive standard breast cancer treatments. The researchers measure immune-related signals during your treatment to better understand what may be happening in triple-negative or certain hormone-receptor breast cancers.
This study checks whether chemotherapy for breast cancer affects thyroid function. It follows patients during treatment to see if thyroid problems develop.
This study looks at how doctors talk with patients who have a thyroid nodule that may need a biopsy. It aims to improve communication and help patients feel more involved in their care.
