Problems with public reporting of clinical trials:
http://jco.ascopubs.org/content/31/24/2981.long

Quotes from article:

"They found that almost one half of trials had no publically available results at 3 years after completion."

"The consequences of nonreporting study results—in particular, those from clinical trials with statistically nonsignificant findings or where significant toxicities are identified which are more likely to remain unpublished7—have far reaching effects."

And importantly:
"Finally, study investigators must remember their commitment to research participant volunteers as well as future patients to see complete pictures of oncologic drugs."

Hi Martha, where are you being treated? After 5.5 years I had a new primary that grew lightning fast. I was worked up in San Diego and MDA. My tumor this time was also the aggressive sarcamatoid. I think I spelled it right. That thing came back 3 days after my first chemo. In the same place as the lumpectomy. Shocked all. So I had an immediate left breast masectomy and nodes. About 3 week went by between the last physical exam and when chemo started. I also had a mediastinal node biopsied as 3 were enlarged. The one the biopsied was negative. I'm on Ixempra and Xeloda chemo. I'm very very interested in this trial or whatever you call it. I may need more. Appreciate knowing where you go. Your doc name. Thank you. Best of all luck.
Tracy

Advances in the systemic treatment of triple-negative breast cancer


Triple-negative breast cancer constitutes a heterogeneous group of malignancies that are often aggressive and associated with a poor prognosis. Molecular characterization, while not a standard of care, can further subtype triple-negative breast cancer and provide insight into prognostication and behaviour. Optimal chemotherapy regimens have yet to be established; however, there have been advances in the systemic treatment of triple-negative breast cancer in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and metastatic settings. In this review, we discuss evidence for the potential benefit of neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy, adjuvant combination chemotherapy with weekly paclitaxel, and BRCA mutation–directed therapy in the metastatic setting. The role for adjuvant capecitabine in patients who do not achieve a pathologic complete response with neoadjuvant chemotherapy is reviewed. Future directions and data concerning novel targeted agents are reviewed, including the most recent data on parp [poly (adp-ribose) polymerase] inhibitors, antiandrogen agents, and immunotherapy.
