Patients' understanding of their own disease and survival potential in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

abstract：:From January 1992 to July 1993, 28 patients with metastatic breast cancer were entered in a phase II trial to assess the activity and toxicity of the combination of mitoxantrone, 5-fluoruracil, and leucovorin. Patients were eligible if they had progressive disease after either adjuvant (2 patients) or previous chemoth...

abstract：:BRCAness breast tumors represent a group of sporadic tumors characterized by a reduction in BRCA1 gene expression. As BRCA1 is involved in double-strand breaks (DSBs) repair, dysfunctional BRCA pathway could make a tumor sensitive to DNA damaging drugs (e.g., platinum agents). Thus, accurately identifying BRCAness cou...
