Gene Expression in Tumor Tissue From Women Undergoing Surgery for Breast Cancer or Core Biopsy of the Breast
- Conditions
- Breast Cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT00898937
- Lead Sponsor
- Georgetown University
- Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Studying samples of breast tissue in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about the genes and proteins found in breast tissue.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying genes and proteins in breast tissue from women undergoing surgery for breast cancer or core biopsy of the breast.
- Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
* Assess tumor gene expression information from women undergoing surgery for breast cancer or core biopsy sampling of the breast.
OUTLINE: This is a pilot study.
Tumor tissue is collected and analyzed for tumor gene expression by DNA microarray analysis for research studies.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 100 patients will be accrued for this study.
