Changing treatment before scans show progression: a new relationship between breast cancer drugs and blood tests ↗
What benefit comes from detecting a resistance mutation and switching treatment before radiographic progression?
European certification was added for Guardant360 CDx. Earlier switching prolonged PFS in selected SERENA-6 patients, while SERENA-4 under different conditions missed its primary endpoint. FDA requires confirmation comparing early switching with switching at progression.
