简要总结
RATIONALE: Studying the genes expressed in samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer may help doctors identify biomarkers related to cancer.
PURPOSE: This research study is looking at tumor tissue samples from patients who have undergone surgery for breast cancer.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
- To determine if candidate genes display differential expression between normal and cancer breast tissues.
OUTLINE: Previously collected breast cancer tissue samples (paraffin embedded blocks) and normal adjacent tissue are used for immunohistochemistry studies of expression of candidate genes.
