You have been asked to participate in this research because you are over the age of 18 and are being treated for breast cancer at the City of Hope or Stanford University. The purpose of this study is to identify tumor cells in the bloodstream (Circulating Tumor Cells, CTCs) from your breast cancer. Your participation in this study is expected to go on indefinitely if you are being treated for metastatic (your disease has spread to other parts of your body) breast cancer.

The specimens collected from you will continue to be used in research studies as long as there are specimens left.
