Thanks Lani. This is really interesting. I did not achieve a pcr and questioned my onc about this. He said we still do not have an absolute answer as to whether this has an impact on long term survival and clinically he had seen her 2 patients relapse who had a pcr and some with large tumours and no pcr do well!
Guess bc gets more complex the more we know!
