What this Trial Is About

PEAK is a prospective, multicenter, non-interventional investigator-initiated trial (IIT) that aims to investigate the influence of the menstrual cycle phase on Ki67 in patients who either receive Tamoxifen, Aromatase inhibitors ± gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-Analogues or nothing or no preoperative endocrine treatment as part of the clinical routine. The investigators moreover address the question whether PAM50 assessment in addition to Ki67 dynamics still impacts treatment recommendations.
