Center of Excellence for Individuation of Therapy for Breast Cancer

Abstract

During the most recent period the Center of Excellence continued to collect and process human breast cancer tissues for patients receiving chemotherapy for metastatic disease. These tissues have been annotated clinically, examined by the study pathologist for QC/QA purposes, entered into our data analysis system, and distributed to the appropriate laboratory investigators for evaluation. An initial analysis of patients with metastatic breast cancer treated with the antimetabolite prodrug capecitabine was performed, and revealed striking correlations between thymidylate synthase (as measured by fluorescence in situ hybridization) and outcome.
