Study of how breast cancer affects the immune system
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how the immune system changes in people with breast cancer, using patient tissue samples. It may help researchers understand immune responses in young women and guide future cancer treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a woman older than 18
- You must have confirmed breast cancer based on a biopsy or related test
- You must be able and willing to provide research tissue samples from procedures you already have planned
- You must be able to give informed consent (in person or by phone/online, depending on where you get care)
- You must not have major autoimmune disease, frequent long-term steroid pills, or immune-affecting prescription medicines
- You should not have other serious immune-impacting illnesses (like uncontrolled infections or known HIV)

This study looks at how your immune system changes while you receive standard breast cancer treatments. The researchers measure immune-related signals during your treatment to better understand what may be happening in triple-negative or certain hormone-receptor breast cancers.
This study looks at how certain immune cells behave in people with breast cancer. It may help researchers understand the disease and how the immune system affects it.
This study looks at how your immune system changes while you receive standard breast cancer treatment around the time of surgery. The goal is to learn why some people respond better than others, which could help future treatment choices.
This study aims to deeply analyze immune cells and tumor cells in the blood and tumors of cancer patients. It may help researchers better understand how the immune system interacts with cancer.
This trial looks at how radiation therapy affects the thymus, a gland that helps your immune system. If you are a young woman having surgery for breast cancer, you may be able to join and help researchers learn more about preserving immune health.
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.
