Study of stored breast or gynecologic cancer tissue for DNA testing
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older and being seen through the NIH Women’s Malignancies Clinic (or related NIH protocol follow-up).
- You have breast cancer or another gynecologic cancer confirmed by biopsy tissue.
- If it’s your tissue: your biopsy results must be reviewed/confirmed by the NCI Laboratory of Pathology before the tissue is stored.
- You (or a close family member) may join—biological relatives 1st to 3rd degree of someone who meets the cancer tissue criteria.
- You can say yes to consent and you are willing to provide tissue for storage; tissue will be evaluated for DNA testing.
- You cannot be pregnant when joining; pregnancy is checked using medical history and physical exam.

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 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 study builds a clinical and biological database for people newly diagnosed with certain cancers. It may help doctors better understand cancer patterns and improve future care, and it involves agreeing to extra blood samples.
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 collects blood (and possibly tumor tissue) to learn how certain inherited gene changes relate to breast and ovarian cancer risk. It may help researchers understand which people are most likely to develop these cancers and how tumors differ in high-risk patients.
