About this trial

Tissue will be procured during a standard of care procedure the patient will already be scheduled to undergo. A one time blood draw will be performed at this time and an optional rectal swab for biome analysis may occur. Follow Up will only consist of chart review to determine date of recurrence, metastases, and/or death

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adults >18 years old at time of consent

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Tumor biomarker identification

Collected biospecimens will be analyzed using current laboratory techniques to identify the presence of breast cancer biomarkers such as estrogen receptor (ER) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2).

Time frame
Up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Laboratory-based breast cancer tumor genomic profile

Genomic profile will be based on laboratory analysis of the collected tumor tissue biospecimens to identify how genes interact with the tumor and its environment.

Time frame
Up to 5 years
