RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from patients with current or previous cancer may help doctors learn more about biomarkers related to cancer.
PURPOSE: This research study is looking at blood samples in women with breast cancer or a history of breast cancer.
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
Secondary
OUTLINE: Peripheral blood and plasma samples are collected for analysis of circulating endothelial cells (CEC) and angiogenic growth factor levels. Blood samples from patients initiating a new chemotherapy or hormonal therapy for breast cancer are collected at baseline and at 3 and 6 weeks following the start of treatment. CEC are quantified via flow cytometry and plasma angiogenic markers are assessed via ELISA.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 100 patients with active, measurable breast cancer and 100 patients with a prior history of breast cancer will be accrued for this study.
