Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Women of age 18-65 years who are radiologically or histopathologically diagnosed with breast cancer of any receptor expression / subtype. (including ER+, PR+, HER2+, and triplenegative breast cancer [TNBC]). 2. Who are eligible for upfront surgery and who consent for bio banking of their tumour and adjacent normal tissue from primary tumour site at time of diagnostic biopsy or surgical resection

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Women who are socio-vulnerable (unable to comprehend study, not deemed mentally fit to take a decision on their own) 2. Women who don t consent for biopsy 3.Women whose tumour tissue does not have any tumour content and/or are not diagnosed with cancer on histopathological examination of biopsy specimen 4.Patients with radiologically or histologically confirmed metastatic breast cancer
