简要总结
The purpose of this study is to assess the fine needle aspiration methodology in collecting sufficient tumour cells to measure tissue TNFa levels serially in human breast cancer sample receiving Taxane treatment
详细描述
This pilot study will begin to test the clinical relevance of the TNFa pathway in docetaxel response in breast cancer patients receiving Taxane chemotherapy.
- Assess whether docetaxel can induce TNFa expression in breast cancer patients being treated with docetaxel
