establish a live biobank for breast cancer patients
Tumor tissue will be obtained at key inflection points from breast cancer patients (BC): at initial diagnosis, at surgery and at metastasis or recurrence. Patient Derived Organoids (PDOs) will be prepared from tumors that are obtained from the BC patients.

assess immune relevant genes from tumor biopsies
60 months
Patients with breast cancer (BC), any stage will be considered for this study.
Tumor tissue will be collected from consented patients at sequential inflection points in the disease course: at the time of initial diagnosis, at the time of surgery and during recurrence or metastasis. In addition to this, 40ml of research bloods will also be collected at these key inflection points.
Registry-reported names are shown in full. Names without a link have not yet been matched to a Syfrah profile.
breast cancer patients (BC), any stage irrespective of hormonal status will be eligible for this study.

Tissue collection through the DIGNITY trial will allow the investigators to study the individual tumor and its microenvironment from a biopsy specimen at sequential inflection points and to perform functional genomics experiments using the PDOs technology to determine if the cancer cells can be reprogrammed using radiotherapy and other interventions. Paired blood samples from the patients at each time point will be collected to study circulating cytokines/chemokines, tumor-specific T cells, and innate immune cell response to the PDO.
