Testing blood and tissue markers in breast surgery patients
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at proteins and imaging patterns (from tissue, fluid near the tumor, and blood) to better understand breast cancer markers. It may help researchers find clues that doctors can use to evaluate breast nodules and newly diagnosed invasive breast cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be scheduled for breast surgery for an unclear breast lump or breast tissue removal.
- You may join if you have a new diagnosis of invasive breast cancer.
- If invasive breast cancer is suspected, the target area must be at least 1.0 cm on breast imaging before a core biopsy.
- You cannot have more than one primary cancer happening at the same time in different organs.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at tumor cells in the blood of women with breast cancer to understand them better. It may help doctors learn more about how the disease spreads.
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 trial looks at blood samples to measure substances that may reflect cancer (tumor markers). It may help doctors understand cancer better and improve future monitoring, as long as you can safely and regularly take part.
This study looks at tiny particles released by cells (called extracellular vesicles) in people with breast cancer. It may help researchers better understand breast cancer and how it behaves, which could improve future testing or treatments.
This trial tests a device called OneMark that helps doctors find and track breast cancer during surgery and follow-up. It may help make sure the cancer is removed completely.
This study uses a computer program to look at blood test results from women treated for breast cancer. The goal is to see if patterns in inflammation markers can help predict outcomes.
