New trial alert: epirubicin dosage for chemotherapy in breast cancer patients

Researchers at the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton, Alberta are presently recruiting patients for a new trial to determine if "epirubicin dosing based on people's genetic profile" is a better method to calculate chemotherapy dosage versus the traditional means of determining dosage according to a patient's height and weight.

Led by Dr. John Mackey and Dr. Michael Sawyer, female patients with histologically confirmed non-metastatic invasive breast cancer "scheduled to receive at least three cycles of FEC100 in theh adjuvant or neoadjuvant setting" are elligible for participation in this trial.
