Clinical Trials Mehmet F. Hepgur is currently running
Marker-Directed Monitoring
for Breast Cancer
This trial studies if using blood tests to decide when to do scans is as effective as the standard way for monitoring patients with a specific type of breast cancer that has spread. The blood tests act like an early warning system for cancer activity.

Support Program
for Breast Cancer
This phase III trial compares an additional support program (text message reminders and/or telephone-based counseling) with usual care in making sure breast cancer patients take their endocrine therapy medication as prescribed (medication adherence). Medication adherence is how well patients take the medication as prescribed by their doctors, and good medical adherence is when patients take medications correctly. Poor medication adherence has been shown to be a serious barrier to effective treatment for hormone receptor positive breast cancer patients. Adding text message reminders and/or telephone-based counseling to usual care may increase the number of days that patients take their endocrine therapy medication as prescribed.
