About this trial
This study evaluates the genomic profiles of breast cancer in a prospective and population-based manner. In the first phase, breast tumors are analyzed by whole transcriptome RNA-sequencing. Gene expression profiles, mutational profiles, and transcript isoform-level data will be analyzed in the context of patient information, clinicopathological variables, and outcome, with the purpose to develop new molecular diagnostic assays for breast cancer. Additional genome-scale RNA, DNA, and protein analyses will be performed in the future.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Biomarkers and clinicopathological information
Analysis of genomic data (biomarkers) and their relationship to patient and tumor clinicopathological information; assessment of analytical validity.
Invasive disease-free survival
Different biomarkers will be analysed in the context of invasive disease-free survival (IDFS) at different time-points for different subgroups of the prospective cohort, for example for all patients receiving a particular therapy or patients with tumors of a specific molecular subtype.
Secondary outcomes
Overall survival
Different biomarkers will be analysed in the context of overall survival (OS) at different time-points for different subgroups of the prospective cohort, for example for all patients receiving a particular therapy or patients with tumors of a specific molecular subtype.
Breast cancer-specific survival
Different biomarkers will be analysed in the context of breast cancer survival (BCS) at different time-points for different subgroups of the prospective cohort, for example for all patients receiving a particular therapy or patients with tumors of a specific molecular subtype.
Pathological response
Different biomarkers will be analysed in the context of pathological response at time of surgery for patients receiving pre-operative therapy.
