ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called the EvoLution of Neoadjuvant TreatMent, focuses on understanding how many patients with specific types of breast cancer—HER2-positive and Triple Negative—have received neoadjuvant treatment (a therapy given before surgery) in the last five years. The study will look at various factors, such as the types of treatment chosen, the characteristics of the tumors, and how well the treatments worked. Researchers will also analyze how these treatments may affect patients' chances of staying cancer-free after surgery.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be at least 18 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of early-stage breast cancer without any spread to other parts of the body. They should also have specific information about their cancer, such as hormone receptor status. Participants can expect to share their treatment experiences and undergo assessments that will help researchers gather important information about the effectiveness of neoadjuvant treatments. This trial is actively recruiting patients and aims to improve future breast cancer care.
