TRACR will provide a data/biospecimen repository for translational research to better
diagnose, prognose, treat and cure breast cancer (and related diseases/treatment
conditions). Patients at the Rowan Breast Center will be consented for donation of blood and
if available tumor/healthy/archived tissue. Patients will be consented to give permission to
use said specimens for future research and to be contacted in the future about other
research participation and additional information.


Inclusion Criteria:

- RBC patients with known invasive cancer pre-surgery (greater or equal to 1.5cm) are
given priority in recruitment.

- RBC patients with known invasive cancer pre-surgery (less then 1.5cm). 3. RBC
patients who are postsurgery for invasive breast cancer (performed at UPHS or
non-UPHS entities).

- Patients that are of high risk for breast cancer (family history, known deleterious
genetic mutation(s)) seeking a prophylactic mastectomy at the breast clinic.

- Only persons who can understand and give informed consent will be eligible to
participate in this study. Furthermore, no persons belonging to vulnerable
