Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Breast cancer tissue samples from participants in Germany

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Samples derived from men and women of age greater than or equal to (>/=) 18 years
  • Samples derived from participants with any stage of histologically confirmed invasive breast cancer with HER2 diagnostics performed within routine (histo-)pathological workup or
  • (Histo-)Pathological work-up of the tumor sample as at or after start of this study

  • No pre-selection of tumor samples is allowed. Tumor samples have to be documented consecutively in the order of their (histo-)pathological work-up.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Sample derived from participants with any stage of breast cancer with no HER2 diagnostics performed at the time of routine (histo-)pathological work-up.
  • Samples derived prior to the start of this study.
