Brief Summary

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

RATIONALE: Studying the genes expressed in samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer may help doctors identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at tumor tissue samples from patients who have undergone surgery for breast cancer.

Detailed Description

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

OBJECTIVES:

* To determine if candidate genes display differential expression between normal and cancer breast tissues.

OUTLINE: Previously collected breast cancer tissue samples (paraffin embedded blocks) and normal adjacent tissue are used for immunohistochemistry studies of expression of candidate genes.
