Metastatic Breast Cancer & the CAPTURE Clinical Trial: What You Need to Know

Metastatic Breast Cancer & the CAPTURE Clinical Trial: What You Need to Know

Sham was born in Iraq in the Middle East, but has lived in Melbourne with her parents and 2 children for the last 7 years. In 2019, Sham was diagnosed with breast cancer after noticing some pain in her right breast while at work.

She is a participant in the CAPTURE clinical trial, which aims to identify women and men with hormone-receptor-positive, metastatic breast cancer who may benefit from a novel combination of drugs that may improve progression-free survival and offer a new treatment option.

We spoke to Sham about her diagnosis and her decision to participate in a clinical trial.
