Gene Expression in Tumor Tissue From Women Undergoing Surgery for Breast Cancer or Core Biopsy of the Breast

April 12, 2018 updated by: Georgetown University

Pilot Study for Analysis of Tumor Gene Expression by DNA Microarray Analysis in Patients Undergoing Breast Cancer Surgery or Core Biopsy Sampling

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.
