Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this trial is to figure out what effects (good or bad) the investigational drug agent called Tarceva (erlotinib; OSI-774) has on women with previously untreated adenocarcinoma.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients will start taking Tarceva daily by mouth on Day 1 and will continue taking this medication daily at home, until participation in the study ends.
