Brief Summary

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

This prospective, national, multi-centre study will include patients with stage III triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who are planned to start with standard (neo)adjuvant systemic treatment. The study will gather clinico-pathological, treatment and follow-up information of participating patients through Dutch databases. Participating patients will be asked to complete cancer specific and more generic quality of life questionnaires at seven time points during and after their anticancer treatment in a mobile application.

For all patients who have consented to additional blood collection, to assess the course of dynamic ctDNA during (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy and its relation with outcome, two tubes will be collected at four different time points.
