Brief Summary

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

This research study is designed to look at the effects of the combination of vorinostat (Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid or Zolinza) and tamoxifen on breast cancer tissue. The investigators will do this by comparing tissues from the original breast biopsy to tissues obtained after taking vorinostat and tamoxifen for 2 weeks.
