Some searches I did:
Where is phyllodes breast cancer research being done? Duke University and hospital. Dr. Rosenberger is the founder and Principle Investigator of an 11-site multi-center collaborative network of Comprehensive Cancer Centers that research phyllodes tumors. You can always get a second opinion from a cancer center if you wish.

Science Direct always brings up some of the latest info - they have standards on the quality of research shared, but you’d want to check out specifics on any information you find on the web.
Here’s an August 2024 article that saying EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) mutations are a good target for treatment of early phyllodes tumors, using EGFR inhibitors. Also notes that P53 (tp53) is often low in phyllodes tumors, so your pathology report might note that. P53 inhibits cell proliferation.

@triciaot, I found a shorter (non-pdf) version of the link you wished to share:
- Integrated multi-omics profiling reveals a clinically relevant molecular feature and potential therapeutic target on phyllodes tumors of breast https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1936523324001256
@danielleruddy, I know this is all so new and overwhelming. You are not alone. Do you know when you can expect to hear the results of the second opinion? How are you doing today?
Yes. Twice. Malignant in left breast 9/2020, malignant in right breast 9/2021

1 ReactionMy 32 year old daughter had a mastectomy last year due to a malignant phyllodes tumor (7cm). She will require a scan every 6 months from now on, first one was an MRI today, next one a CAT scan in 6 more months and so on like that, MRI then CT , alternating.
This is life-changing for all of us. When she gets the results from the MRI, I will report. Just praying nothing is found.

1 ReactionThe report is back. I think it looks pretty good, but I have not heard that any one from the hospital has called with results. I looked up about every other term andThe report is back. I think it looks pretty good, but I have not heard that any one from the hospital has called with results. I looked up about every other term and it all looks ok, for which I am grateful, but would be more confident if one of her doc's had weighed in to that effect
