Banking breast cancer and related tissue samples for future studies
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study collects and stores tissue and fluid samples from people with a breast lump or breast cancer so researchers can study cancer biology in the future. It may help future patients by allowing better lab tests and research on why breast cancer starts, grows, and comes back.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a breast lump or breast cancer, or it is suspected to be cancer
- You agree to donate tissue and/or body fluid samples for research
- You must sign an informed consent form to take part in the study
- You allow the researchers to get your tumor samples from other hospitals or centers if needed
- You agree to be contacted/followed over time about recurrence, relapse, or death from disease
- For optional physical and thinking (cognitive) tests: you are 60 or older and you finished your first round of cancer treatment

This study collects tissue and/or blood samples from people with breast cancer to help future research. It may be useful if you’re already having surgery or another procedure as part of your treatment plan.
This study collects blood samples to “test and store” (bank) information that may help doctors understand cancer in the future. You might be able to join if you’re an adult with confirmed cancer or a higher-than-usual risk for cancer.
This trial invites adults with certain breast cancer conditions to donate tissue after death. Researchers hope the donated samples will help better understand cancer and improve future treatments.
This study looks at breast cancer samples taken by biopsy to see how tissue “molecular markers” relate to how you respond to therapy and how the cancer behaves. It may help researchers better match future treatments to the biology of your tumor.
This study collects and stores tissue from people with breast cancer or other gynecologic cancers to do DNA (genomics) testing. It may help researchers better understand these cancers by comparing genetic patterns from real patient tissue.
This study collects small tissue samples from women having surgery for breast cancer. The samples are stored to help researchers learn more and develop better treatments in the future.
