Breast cancer study using tumor tissue to find key differences
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial looks at breast cancer “proteins” and molecular features using tumor samples taken during surgery or biopsy. The goal is to better understand why breast cancers behave differently, which may help guide more personalized treatment in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have breast cancer and are coming to the hospital for a tumor surgery or biopsy to remove or sample tissue.
- Your breast cancer is either newly diagnosed, recurrent (came back), or metastatic (spread), based on your prior diagnosis or current assessment.
- If you are receiving treatment before surgery (neoadjuvant treatment), you may still join.
- You must be 18 years of age or older.
- You must be able to understand the study and sign informed consent.

This trial takes a close look at the proteins inside breast cancer cells, using samples from people with different subtypes. It aims to better understand how each type behaves, which could help guide future treatments.
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 tumor “clues” by using tissue and blood samples in people with metastatic breast cancer (with specific subtype). It aims to better understand what drives the cancer, which may help guide future treatments.
This study takes small samples of your breast tumor tissue after (or during) treatment and grows them in lab animals to better study breast cancer. It may help researchers test future ideas for treating aggressive breast cancer types like triple-negative or Luminal B.
This trial studies advanced solid tumors by using stored tumor samples to look for molecular clues. The goal is to help doctors better choose cancer treatments that may work for your specific tumor.
This study collects tissue samples and health information from people with breast cancer that has spread or come back. It aims to help researchers learn more about the disease and may lead to better treatments.
