Help unlock the mysteries of cancer!
If you or someone you know has recurrent breast cancer, you could help improve early detection methods by participating in an important clinical research study. SCI is conducting a study looking at novel detection methods for breast cancer in collaboration with Dr. Krishna Rao. Participants must be diagnosed with a recurrence of breast cancer, but they must not have started treatment. Participants will be asked to make an appointment to have blood drawn. Please try to identify individuals who may be eligible to participate and encourage them to call Julie Baumgardner at 217-545-2219 or email jbaumgardner@siumed.edu.
