A Feasibility Study to Identify T-cell Responses to Neo-epitopes in Tumor Invaded Lymph Nodes
Feasibility study for a method allowing identification of tumor mutated epitopes in patients with breast cancer or cutaneous melanoma, and quantification of CD8+ T cells specific for these tumor neo-antigens in their lymph nodes

Exclusion Criteria:
Patients treated for a breast cancer who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy Patients treated for breast cancer with distant metastases (M+)• Only for patients with breast cancer: oral or systemic corticosteroids treatment received within 30 days prior surgery Patients on immunosuppressive treatment or diagnosed of an immunodeficiency Patients with known chronic viral infection as HIV1 or 2, HBV, HCV Patients with other cancer diagnosed within 5 years (except squamous cell cutaneous carcinomas) Patients without a French social security Patients deprived of liberty or placed under the authority of a tutor
