Re: Oh why or why are they not looking at the bone marrow?

Cathay
I think you've asked an excellent question. What needs to happen if these cells are detected in bone marrow? Is more chemo/ targeted treatments necessary to eradicate them? Should every bc patient have a bone marrow biopsy? If a bone marrow shows no cells present how predictive is it of future mets or local recurrence ?

Lani, your wisdom and insight would be very welcome.
