To identify women diagnosed with atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) who are at increased risk of developing invasive breast cancer (IBC) and who might benefit from risk reduction with the use of chemoprevention agents such as Tamoxifen. (Note: A companion protocol will study women with DCIS and their risk for invasive breast cancer.)


Biomarkers expressed in benign breast disease tissue of women who progresse to invasive breast cancer are quantitatively and/or qualitatively different from those expressed in tissue of matched women who do not progress to invasive breast cancer. A nested case-control design will be used to determine if available proteomic and methylation biomarkers predict risk for future invasive cancer (IBC). Women with ADH who are disease-free will be matched 2:1 to women with ADH who progress to IBC.

There are currently no biomarkers annotated for this protocol.

No datasets are currently associated with this protocol.
