Pilot Study for Analysis of Tumor Gene Expression by DNA Microarray Analysis in Patients Undergoing Breast Cancer Surgery or Core Biopsy Sampling

RATIONALE: Studying samples of breast tissue in the laboratory may help doctors learn more
about the genes and proteins found in breast tissue.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying genes and proteins in breast tissue from women
undergoing surgery for breast cancer or core biopsy of the breast.

OBJECTIVES:

- Assess tumor gene expression information from women undergoing surgery for breast cancer
or core biopsy sampling of the breast.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot study.

Tumor tissue is collected and analyzed for tumor gene expression by DNA microarray analysis
for research studies.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 100 patients will be accrued for this study.

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Undergoing surgery for breast cancer OR core biopsy sampling of the breast
