A Study of Effect of Megakaryocytes and Platelets in Breast Cancer

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine how megakarocytes (cells in the bone marrow responsible for making platelets, which are necessary for blood clotting) affect the survivial and growth/division patterns of breast cancer stem cells, and the effects of breast cancer cells on megakatocyte survival and function. Through chart review, the study team will look at the relationship different blood components and different breast cancer diagnosis.
