The primary aim of the study is to identify genomic markers (circulating tumor cells (CTCs), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), transcriptomic markers) as biomarkers of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) among patients with invasive breast cancer.
The study aims to evaluate genetic markers (i.e. CTCs and ctDNA) in breast tumors to predict therapy response and metastatic risk. We aim to investigate genomic markers of treatment response and outcomes in breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The role of CTCs and ctDNA in predicting response to NAC will also be investigated.
