Stand Up To Cancer’s Post

Thanks to all donors to Dutch Cancer Society KWF Kankerbestrijding NKI researcher Marleen Kok and her team received 4.1 million euros for large-scale international research into forgoing chemotherapy in women with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. The study will investigate whether we can safely forgo chemotherapy in women with many immune cells around their tumors, as this indicates an excellent prognosis. Marleen received this amazing cheque from Dorine Manson, head of the Dutch Cancer Society. Dorine: "This research closely aligns with our own goals: better treatments and better quality of life for patients during and after their treatment. We will follow this research with great interest." In this new trial, patients can decide whether they want to receive chemotherapy after surgery in collaboration with their physician. The researchers will follow 490 women and will measure their quality of life through questionnaires. The study will show whether immune cells are a reliable indicator when deciding whether to provide chemotherapy.
