BIG Radio Tuning (scientific name: EXPERT)
To do this, the tumours of patients potentially interested in the study will be analysed for risk of recurrence using a genetic test of 50 genes. Those qualifying as low-risk according to the test will then receive either endocrine therapy alone or endocrine therapy plus radiotherapy. The study hopes to show that both groups do well and that therefore patients classified as low-risk according to the 50-gene test may be spared radiotherapy in the future. In 2018, 28 of about 90 hospitals that will participate in the study got on board.
BIG Radio Tuning is known in the scientific community as EXPERT.
