Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This study will assess if the presence of immune system cells in and around the tumor impacts tumor shrinkage in patients receiving neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer.
