Enumeration and Molecular Characterization of Circulating Tumour Cells in Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer (CTC-MBC)

May 20, 2020 updated by: Lund University Hospital
Women with metastatic breast cancer, receiving first line treatment of any kind (chemotherapy, endocrine treatment or treatment with antibodies) will be included in this trial. In connection to treatment, blood samples for determination and enumeration of circulating tumour cells will be collected at different time points. Serum and plasma will be collected and stored for future analysis of RNA and DNA.
