3. There is no age limit for this study. However, this study will not include children because metastatic breast cancer does not occur in children.
4. Patients may participate in the biopsy study multiple times to repeat molecular assessment of the cancer after progression.
5. Patients who undergo routine clinical biopsy of metastatic breast cancer are also eligible to participate in this study. When the routine biopsies are obtained for diagnostic or other purposes, additional biopsies will be taken during the same biopsy session for molecular analysis.
