Lani,
I remember when I was first dx at the hospital there was a trial going on in which bone cell biopsies were being done to check for dormant TC especially in early stage patients. I wanted to participate but could not because my surgeon was not involved in the trial. I have not heard anything on this in the last few years.

Has any clear answer come from those trials?
Thank you.
Jean
