The Breast Program - Translational Cancer Resource

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.
