Tissue biopsy study for breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study collects small samples of breast cancer tissue during routine biopsies to learn more about how breast cancer behaves. It may help doctors understand the cancer better, but it does not test a new treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female and 18 years old or older.
- You have been newly diagnosed with breast cancer (not previously treated).
- Your tumor measures at least 1 cm on imaging.
- Your cancer's hormone receptor status (ER and HER2) is known.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not used hormone replacement therapy within 14 days of the biopsy if your cancer is ER-positive.

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.
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 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 looks at blood and tissue samples from people newly diagnosed with breast cancer to better understand the disease and possibly find better ways to treat it. It is for people who have not yet started treatment, so it may be an opportunity to contribute to research early in your journey.
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 trial builds lab “models” (called organoids) from breast cancer tissue to help researchers study different breast cancer types. You may be able to help by providing consent and meeting the study’s basic cancer and treatment history requirements.
