Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to collect blood and tissue to help develop tests that might be able to detect cancer earlier. The investigator will be collecting these samples and reviewing test results from participants who have had an area of concern found on breast imaging, as well as from participants who are scheduled to have a routine breast cancer screening mammogram.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

normal mammograms (BI-RADS 1 or 2)

Breast MRI

Intervention Type DEVICE

Participants with dense breast tissue will get a mammogram and MRI

Breast Mammogram

Intervention Type DEVICE

State-of-the-art full-field digital mammography (FFDM) and or digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) comprising both raw and post-processed images as well as ultrasound and MRI images from the initial screening study will be collected and sent to the MSKCC Breast Radiology Department.

Blood draw

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will donate approximately 60ml of peripheral blood. Mononuclear cells from peripheral blood will be used to extract germline DNA. Germline genomic testing will be employed as a matched control for tumor sequencing and for germline breast cancer susceptibility testing.

online participant reported questionnaire

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire that covers the topics of breast health, general health and lifestyle, genetic testing, personal, and family history of cancer.

Breast Biopsy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Tissue specimens from the biopsy of the BI-RADS 4 mammographic lesion and (among women undergoing surgical excision) the surgical specimen(s) will be subjected to genomic profiling at GRAIL, Inc. or MSKCC. The tumor specimens from the participants diagnosed with cancer during the follow-up period will also undergo molecular profiling.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Females with one or more BI-RADS 4 radiographic lesions who are undergoing ultrasound, stereotactic or MRI-guided breast biopsy at MSKCC or at an MSK Alliance Member Site. If multiple imaging modalities were employed (mammogram, ultrasound, MRI) and no integrated score is provided, then the highest BI-RADS score will be used.
* Age ≥ 18 years at the time of breast biopsy
* Willing to provide blood samples for research purposes before biopsy.
* Able to provide written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

* Women with a BI-RADS 4 lesion who had the lesion previously biopsied
* Females with a current active malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancers. Females are considered not to have a "current active" malignancy if they have completed therapy and have no evidence of systemic disease for at least three years from the initial diagnosis
* Currently pregnant women
* History of bilateral mastectomy.
* Participant has or is currently participating in another GRAIL-sponsored protocol
