Protocol for Postmenopausal Women at Increased Risk of Developing Breast Cancer
- Conditions
- Breast Cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT00329017
- Lead Sponsor
- Carol Fabian, MD
- Brief Summary
A study to examine the potential associations between common single nucleotide polymorphisms and pre-cancerous conditions in breast tissue specimens from postmenopausal women.
- Detailed Description
A study to examine the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) affecting steroid and carcinogen metabolism and benign breast tissue cytomorphology collected via random periareolar fine needle aspiration in postmenopausal women at increased risk for breast cancer and taking hormone replacement therapy.
