Study Overview

Brief Summary

To Test Effect of Soy Supplementation on Cellular Markers in Normal and Cancerous Breast Tissue using a Randomized Placebo Controlled Study.

Objectives:

  • To determine (by immunohistochemistry) whether specific cellular markers and gene products associated with breast carcinoma can be altered by soy therapy.
  • To identify genes that can be altered by soy therapy in normal and neoplastic breast tissues by unbiased gene expression analysis using microarrays.
  • To compare specific cellular markers and pathways (immunohistochemistry), and gene expression using microarrays in normal and cancerous breast tissue.

Detailed Description

Patient Population:

Pre and post menopausal women with breast cancer diagnosed by core needle biopsy scheduled to undergo breast cancer resection for an invasive carcinoma.

Objectives:

  • To determine (by immunohistochemistry) whether specific cellular markers and gene products associated with breast carcinoma can be altered by soy therapy.
  • To identify genes that can be altered by soy therapy in normal and neoplastic breast tissues by unbiased gene expression analysis using microarrays.
  • To compare specific cellular markers and pathways (immunohistochemistry), and gene expression using microarrays in normal and cancerous breast tissue.
