RATIONALE: Changing the genes in laboratory mice to create a living model of human breast cancer may help doctors learn more about breast cancer.
PURPOSE: This research study is developing mouse models of breast cancer using tissue samples that were previously collected from women with breast cancer.
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: Previously collected breast tumor fragments are implanted into the renal capsule site of SCID mouse hosts (mouse with severe combined immune deficiency) to establish metastatic spread patterns, and both histologic and molecular tumor characteristics.
Patients' medical charts are reviewed to obtain relevant information, including general demographics, smoking and alcohol use, as well as outcome data such as survival and response to treatment.

| laboratory biomarker analysis | Other | Tissue samples will either be collected at the time of medically indicated surgical procedures or through research core biopsies. A sample of urine will also be obtained. Blood will be collected via venipuncture and lymphocytes (mononuclear cells) separated and processed as a source of normal DNA and normal cells. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Development of new in vivo models of human breast cancer | 1 year | |
| Correlation of response in this model to actual treatment outcome in patients, if the in vivo model proven feasible | 5 years |
