There doesn't seem to be much news about TNBC. It's disappointing. I asked one of the TNBC experts today about her thoughts on off-label use of metformin. She doesn't support it because metformin has not been proven to prevent recurrence. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day!

I posted about it earlier: http://hormonenegative.blogspot.com/2011/12/diabetes-drug-metformin-prevents-spread.html<br /><br />And the news on the Oncotype test was its use for DCIS.

For hormone-negative, not so much.Patricia Prijatelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08346233311451068354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5239665991629834606.post-8850306558895829482011-12-08T16:31:50.311-06:002011-12-08T16:31:50.311-06:00That oncotype DX has been around for a while.

Must be a slow news day.<br /><br />I know there have been some clinical trials using metformin against TNBC. Those results would have been interesting.Sue in Italia/In the Land Of Cancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11146373251097877539noreply@blogger.com
