Breast Cancer Biomarkers Based on Nipple and Fine Need Aspirates

Abstract

The purpose of this project if to identify one or more biomarkers which can be used to identify women at highest risk of developing - breast cancer before cancer develops. Prior to undergoing breast surgery, women at increased and normal risk of developing breast cancer will undergo fine needle aspiration (FNA) for determining a series of cytologic, cell cycle and molecular biologic markers of clinical significance for cancer development.
