Researchers: A/Pr Sherene Loi (Principal investigator)

Brief description Chemotherapy given prior to surgery can often inform us if a breast tumour is sensitive or resistant to therapy by the amount of disease remaining at time of surgery. We have further shown that the immune response is also important in these patients. In this study we propose to analyse the tumour samples that remain after chemotherapy in order to understand possible resistance mechanisms as well as how the immunity influences survival of HER2-positive breast cancer patients
