A Study for Germline Mutations of Patients with Phyllodes Tumors of the Breast

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine the overall prevalence and types of germline genetic mutations in a contemporary multi-institutional cohort of women diagnosed with a phyllodes (connective tissue) tumor of the breast, to compare the overall rate and types of germline genetic mutations observed in a multi-institutional cohort of women with phyllodes tumors to the average population and women with breast cancer, and to compare the rate and types of germline genetic mutations identified between each of the histologic subtypes (grade) of phyllodes tumors (benign, borderline, malignant).
