Clinical Trial: Breast Cancer
Erythropoietin and Breast Cancer Stem Cells
Observational Trial: A Research Study to Determine if Molecules in the Blood Predict the Number of Tumor Stem Cells in Breast Cancer
Technical Title: Erythropoietin and Breast Cancer Stem Cells
Basic Information:
This research study will test blood samples for evidence of molecules that may predict the number of breast cancer stem cells in tumors. The tentative assumption for this research study is that certain substances in the blood predict the number of cancer stem cells in breast cancer. In order to find out if this assumption is correct, blood will be frozen and stored for future examination.
Procedures
We will not be able to share the results of your blood testing with you. If you volunteer to participate in this study, we would ask you to do the following things:
- Have one blood sample (approx. 1 teaspoons (10ml)) collected before your first radiation treatment.
