Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To prospectively evaluate the impact of CellSearch CTCs on treatment decisions and response assessment in MBC patients [3 to 4 months]
Assessing proportion of providers that find CellSearch CTCs helpful in determining response to therapy in each unique patient (Questionnaire #2).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Assess barriers and receptiveness of providers in using CTCs in clinical practice [18 months]
Assessing provider perception of the general usefulness of CTC in pre and post-intervention surveys (Questionnaire #1 and #3)
- Evaluate if CTC results correlate with response assessment and disease progression defined by standard of care imaging [18 months]
Compare baseline and on treatment serial CTCs assessment to identify correlations with first restaging studies and with progression free survival
