This is a research study that collects tissue samples from your tumor and blood samples at different time points to help scientists understand how breast cancer varies from person to person. By studying these samples, researchers hope to find patterns that could lead to better, more personalized treatments in the future.
Breast cancer is different in each person, and doctors need to understand these differences better to develop treatments that work for more patients. This study aims to create a resource that will help researchers discover new insights about the disease.

If you join this study, doctors will collect a tissue sample from your tumor during surgery or biopsy, and blood samples before and after your treatment. You will also be asked to provide blood samples once a year for 5 years (if you have primary breast cancer) or up to 2 years (if you have recurrent or metastatic disease). Your doctors will also collect information about your medical history and treatment at the time of each sample collection. Your regular cancer care remains unchanged—this study simply adds sample collection to your existing appointments.
