Brief summary
This trial is a retrospective translational research study evaluating biological material (archival tumor tissue and blood samples) of patients who received a widely used regimen recommended in NCCN guidelines v1.2016. Radiotherapy and anti-HER2 treatment were administered as indicated.
Interventions
This is a retrospective translational research study on breast cancer patients treated with dose-dense sequential adjuvant chemotherapy. FFPE tumor samples and blood samples were obtained between 2010 and 2013 at diagnosis and were collected from the treating institutions where they were stored for the purposes of this translational research study between 2/2016 and 6/2016 in order to evaluate the prognostic role of protein expression, mRNA levels, gene amplification and mutations of key cellular elements in association with measures of outcome (overall survival, disease-free survival). The follow-up of each patient will be at least 10 years from patient enrolement.
