Summary

This study takes leftover breast cancer tissue from patients who still have cancer after initial treatment and grows it in the lab. The goal is to create models that help researchers understand why some cancers resist treatment and test new drug combinations. Participants are adults with breast cancer who have had surgery after initial therapy. This research does not offer a direct treatment benefit but may help future patients.
