Establishing a breast tumor tissue repository from core biopsies

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to create a repository of breast tumor tissue collected from core biopsies at the University of Southern California's Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center. The study will gather baseline and follow-up samples from patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer, allowing researchers to analyze tumor biology, proteins, and genes. The collected data will also include demographic and clinical information to support future research on breast cancer treatment and outcomes. The repository will facilitate the distribution of de-identified samples for various breast cancer-related studies.
