Brief Summary: RATIONALE High estrogen levels may be associated with dense breast tissue and an increased risk of developing breast cancer 4-hydroxytamoxifen gel a substance made when tamoxifen breaks down in the body may be effective in reducing breast density by reducing estrogen levels with fewer side effects than tamoxifen This may improve quality of life and the ability to detect breast cancer with screening mammography

PURPOSE Randomized screening study to determine the effect of 4-hydroxytamoxifen gel on breast density salivary sex steroids hormones and quality of life in premenopausal women
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the effect of 4-hydroxytamoxifen gel on breast density as measured by digital mammography in premenopausal women
Determine the effect of this gel on breast density in these participants as defined by the BIRADS lexicon

Secondary

Determine the effect of this gel on salivary sex steroid levels in these participants
Determine the effect of this gel on quality of life of these participants

OUTLINE This is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Participants apply 4-hydroxytamoxifen gel in 4 metered doses daily to each breast beginning on the first day after cessation of the first menstrual period after digital mammography is performed
Arm II Participants apply placebo gel as in arm I In both arms treatment continues for 1 year

In both arms participants collect daily saliva samples for 4 menstrual cycles during the study Three of the saliva collections occur during the cycles encompassing the time periods when imaging studies are performed months 0 6 and 12 The fourth collection takes place during the first month that gel is applied to the breast

Participants also undergo digital mammography at baseline 6 months and 1 year

Participants who develop clinical breast problems considered suspicious for cancer discontinue study treatment until a histological diagnosis is established Those found to have breast cancer are removed from the study and those with benign disease continue the study If an excisional biopsy is performed density measurements are made on the opposite breast

Quality of life is assessed at baseline 1 month 6 months and 1 year

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 100 participants 50 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study
