Studying Tumor Samples From Women Who Have Undergone Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer

May 16, 2017 updated by: ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group

Molecular Profiling of E2197 FFPE Samples Using a Custom 512 Breast Cancer Gene Set on the DASL Platform: Towards the Development of Predictive Gene Sets for Risk of Recurrence in Patients With Operable Breast Cancer Treated With Adjuvant Therapy

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at tumor samples from women who have undergone chemotherapy for breast cancer.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To identify gene sets for risk of recurrence using molecular profiling in samples from women with lymph node-positive or high-risk lymph node-negative breast cancer on clinical trial ECOG-E2197.

Secondary

  • To define a set of significant genes as prognostic markers of recurrence.
  • To compare the prognostic value of the Oncotype DX™ (ODX) 21 gene assay of clinical trial with gene sets determined in this study.
  • To compare the DASL™ assay of the ODX 21 genes with ODX assay results of clinical trial.
  • To compare the prognostic value of selected genes with gene sets determined in this study.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Samples are used in molecular profiling by applying a custom panel of breast cancer-related genes to a cDNA-mediated Annealing, Selection, Extension, and Ligation (DASL™) assay, immunohistochemistry, and other studies.
