Summary

The Metastatic Breast Cancer Project (Archived, 2020) is a study catalogued by cBioPortal DataHub under the cancer-type code brca. EvidenceHelix groups it with breast studies.

This page is catalog metadata only: what the study is called and where to find it. It does not report findings, mutation frequencies or patient numbers, and it is not clinical guidance.

Study description

The Metastatic Breast Cancer Project (www.mbcproject.org) is an ongoing patient-driven initiative. This dataset release is derived from 237 samples, including both primary and/or metastatic tumor specimens (FFPE) from 180 patients who developed metastatic breast cancer. 237 samples have undergone whole-exome sequencing (along with matched germline whole-exome sequencing) and 146 of those samples have also undergone RNA-sequencing. This study includes genomic data, patient-reported data (prepended as PRD), medical record data (MedR), and pathology report data (PATH). All annotations have been de-identified. As these data were generated in a research laboratory, not a clinical laboratory, they are for research purposes only and cannot be used to inform clinical decision-making. For questions about these data, including how to cite, please visit www.mbcproject.org/data-release or direct questions to data@mbcproject.org.
