Prof Bruce Mann

The PROSPECTIVE clinical trial aims to find out if surgery without radiotherapy will still be effective at stopping the cancer coming back and reduce the side effects and cost of usual treatment.

PROSPECTIVE may be right for you if you:

  • Are female and 50 years of age or older
  • Have early breast cancer (breast cancer that is only in the breast and may or may not have spread to lymph nodes in the breast or armpit)

Tissue Banking

Tissue Banking is a common part of many clinical trials, including PROSPECTIVE. Tissue banking is donating any tumour tissue or blood samples left over after testing for PROSPECTIVE to a specific Tissue Bank for use in future research. The samples in PROSPECTIVE will be stored at a Tissue Bank in Newcastle, NSW, Australia. The Tissue Bank must ensure proper standards are met in storing and managing your samples. Any future new studies that use your samples must have appropriate approvals in place (e.g. from a Human Research Ethics Committee) before your samples can be used.

IF YOU THINK THE PROSPECTIVE TRIAL MIGHT BE RIGHT FOR YOU …

Please speak to your regular doctor or oncologist about a referral to a participating site.

You can give your doctor/oncologist the link to the trial page or the public registry for further information.
