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.
