SPOREsBreastProjectsProject 1: Biology and treatment of BRCA1 mutant and sporadic Basal-like cancersAim 1: Compare3 the molecular phenotypes of BLC and BRCA1-mutant breast cancers. Aim 2: Identify specific functional defects in DNA repair in BLC using DNA repair assays in viable tumor cells obtained from clinical samples. Aim 3: Access the response of a cohort of ER(-), PR(-), Her2(-) breast cancers to cis-platin in a phase II neo-adjuvant clinical trial and determine if results of informative assays developed above correlate with clinical response.
