I saw the update of the data of the Wins trial at SABAC. It helps all women with BC but helps the most if both hormone receptors are negative (but if one is negative, there is also a great result). The investigators believe it relates to IGFR. Makes sense.

Its late and I just got back. Promise much more later and throughout the week.
