Patients treated with Epirubicin and Docetaxel before surgery were followed by their thymidine kinase (TK1) levels in blood to directly observe treatment response. The results show that a TK1-based cell-loss metric after two cycles of therapy predicted the status at the operation after six cycles of chemotherapy. The metric predicted early on whether or not the chemotherapy works. The purpose with this PROMIX study is to investigate whether a cell-loss metric, defined as the ratio between serum...
