The goal of this observational study is to explore the utility of analytical techniques that enable the study of small amounts of tumor-derived material circulating in the blood, such as fragments of circulating tumor DNA (also known as ctDNA), cells, or other particles. This type of sample is generally referred to as a liquid biopsy, and its analysis is a minimally invasive test, as it only requires the collection of blood samples. The study includes women and men with early-stage breast cancer (EBC) who are about to start neoadjuvant treatment (treatment given before surgery). The main questions it aims to answer are:
Participants will:
Inclusion Criteria:
Written informed consent prior to any specific study procedure.
Patients with willingness and ability to comply with study procedures.
Patients (women and men) ≥18 years of age.
Patients with a first diagnosis of the UICC (Union for International Cancer Control) stage I-III primary invasive BC whose tumors are of any of the following subtypes:
Patients that are scheduled to receive NAT as determined by the treating physician according to standard clinical practice.
Archival Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) sample of the primary tumor must be available to analyze tumor-informed ctDNA assays.
