Biopsy study to collect breast tumor tissue samples
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study takes small tissue samples (core biopsies) from people with known or suspected breast cancer and stores them for research. It may help scientists better understand breast tumors, especially when the cancer has spread.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have known or suspected breast cancer
- Your cancer (or suspected cancer) is believed to have started in the breast, based on your records
- You can understand the study and sign the informed consent form
- You do not have a bleeding disorder (a condition that makes bleeding more likely)
- You have not taken blood-thinning medicines like heparin or warfarin within the past week
- You have not taken anti-platelet medicines like aspirin or clopidogrel within the past week

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 is testing whether it is safe and practical to take multiple small tissue samples (biopsies) from different sites of your breast cancer over time. The goal is to learn how breast cancer changes as it grows, which could help doctors develop better treatments.
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.
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 collects fresh breast-tissue biopsies from people with newly diagnosed breast cancer to learn more about how their bodies’ metabolism may affect the cancer. If you qualify, you may be asked to provide tissue samples before starting certain cancer 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.
