Trial Information

Developing In-Vivo Models of Human Breast Cancer


OBJECTIVES:

- To develop new in vivo models of human breast cancer.

- To correlate response in this model to actual treatment outcome in patients, if the in
vivo model is proven feasible.

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.
