“With TAILORx, we are taking a big step toward personalized medicine. By using cutting- edge diagnostic tests, we’ll be able to customize an individual’s cancer treatment,” said Joseph Sparano, M.D., Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, NY, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group protocol chair.
Women in the study will have a physical exam performed by their doctor every three to six months for the first five years, then once a year after that for up to 20 years. An annual mammogram will check for signs of recurrence.
