Can We Improve Breast Cancer Treatment With Fewer Side Effects?

Can We Improve Breast Cancer Treatment with Fewer Side Effects?

As part of the Breast Cancer Trials clinical fellowship program, Dr Adam Ofri is working on two research projects focusing on the de-escalation of treatment. His first study, called the ‘Targeted Axillary Dissection Based Study’, aims to evaluate the armpit nodes after chemotherapy, in the hopes that fewer nodes will need to be removed during surgery, whilst still providing the same control of cancer in the armpit area.

His second study, called the ‘Decision RT Based Study’ focuses on Decision RT which is a test that is being developed to examine breast tissue from patients with DCIS to measure the benefit they would receive from radiotherapy, in the hopes of potentially avoiding patients receiving unnecessary radiotherapy. Find out more in our latest podcast episode.
