First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at the genetic makeup of breast cancer tumors from 1,600 people to find changes that could help doctors choose more targeted therapies. It uses a special test to analyze over 500 cancer-related genes. The goal is to see if this testing can identify more treatment options than standard methods.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients diagnosed with primary breast cancer attending hospital for the resection of their tumour tissue. Or Patients with suspected or confirmed brain metastatic breast cancer (Patient has a history of a biopsy or surgically (i.e. pathologically) confirmed primary breast cancer) attending hospital for the resection/biopsy and/or treatment of their tumour tissue. Or Patients with suspected (but not necessarily biopsy confirmed) newly diagnosed brain metastatic breast cancer attending hospital for the resection/biopsy and/or treatment of their tumour tissue. 2. Patients receiving neoadjuvant treatment are also eligible (if applicable). 3. Patients must be ≥ 18 years of age. 4. Patients must be able to give informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients who do not have a confirmed diagnosis of primary breast cancer. 2.
