RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about nutrition-related changes that identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict a woman's risk of developing breast cancer.
PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at nutrition-related biomarkers in predicting breast cancer risk in women.
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: Laboratory studies, including metabolome profiling by high performance liquid chromatography; and small molecule identification by mass spectroscopy, are performed on previously collected blood samples.

we have only plasma, NHS has DNA samples.
Study is nested case control, so retrospective with respect to individual inclusion, prospective with respect to sample collected before disease. Enrollment is approximate as it includes samples that will be drpped, eg for QC resons
