NCT ID NCT05306600
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study aims to map the genetic makeup of breast and prostate cancers in patients treated through Brazil's public health system. Researchers will analyze tumor and normal DNA from 882 participants to build a national database. The goal is to better understand how genetics and ancestry influence cancer, paving the way for more personalized treatments in the future.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Institutions from each region that serve Public Health System patients and have high complexity oncology care centers will be included in both Arms to provide a sample that represents the heterogeneity of the Brazilian population. Institutions previously evaluated and validated by the Brazilian Ministry of Health will be selected after completing a feasibility questionnaire. It is estimated that 25 to 30 institutions will be included (at least one from each region) in Arm 1. For Arm 2, 10 centers will be selected from among previously approved institutions.
