A Study to Evaluate the Development of Patient Derived Xenografts in Patients With Breast Cancer

Overview

About this study

Collection of tissue and blood from patients with residual disease after neoadjuvant systemic therapy for breast cancer. We hope to use these samples to find out why some patients still have cancer after they have completed neoadjuvant anticancer therapy.
