Summary

Development of tools to predict patients chemo-sensitivity and identification of corresponding biomarkers is an urgent challenge for BC patients lacking targeted therapies, such as TNBC, or for patients experiencing relapse after adjuvant chemotherapy or targeted therapies. The refinement of 3D-cultivation techniques, experienced in the last decade, has allowed cultivation of patients-derived cancer cells in organotypic structures, named patient-derived organoids (PDO), which preserve histologic, genomic and transcriptomic features of primary tumors. PDO allow propagation, pharmacological treatment and genetic manipulation of patients-derived cancer cells in a close to physiology setting, thus representing a promising tool in the development of personalized therapies

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is creating mini-tumors in the lab called organoids — tiny 3D models grown from a patient's own breast cancer tissue — to better understand the different subtypes of breast cancer. These models help researchers test treatments and study cancer behavior more accurately than traditional methods. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a woman between 18 and 70 years old - You have been newly diagnosed with primary breast cancer - Your tumor is at least 1.5 cm in diameter - You are eligible for surgical removal of your tumor according to standard guidelines **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You were diagnosed with breast cancer during pregnancy - You have already received or are currently receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (chemo given before surgery) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
