Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Log Ratio of Post-baseline to Baseline Ki-67 Index in Mammary Epithelial CellsBaseline and Day 28

Ki-67 is a marker for cell proliferation. Participants underwent percutaneous core needle breast biopsies on Day 1 (Baseline, prior to treatment) and Day 28. Levels of Ki67 were measured using immunohistochemical staining and digital imaging. The proliferation index was calculated as the percentage of Ki-67 positive terminal ductal lobular unit (TDLU) and duct epithelial cells. The higher the percentage, the higher the rate of epithelial cell proliferation.
