Inclusion criteria

* Samples derived from men and women of age greater than or equal to (\>/=) 18 years * Samples derived from participants with any stage of histologically confirmed invasive breast cancer with HER2 diagnostics performed within routine (histo-)pathological workup or * (Histo-)Pathological work-up of the tumor sample as at or after start of this study * Available information on the year of birth of the participant * No pre-selection of tumor samples is allowed. Tumor samples have to be documented consecutively in the order of their (histo-)pathological work-up.

Exclusion criteria

* Sample derived from participants with any stage of breast cancer with no HER2 diagnostics performed at the time of routine (histo-)pathological work-up. * Samples derived prior to the start of this study.
