Brief Summary: The project is a double blind randomized placebo-controlled phase II chemoprevention trial Study participants will be randomly assigned to receive either tamoxifen or placebo for one year Participants will subsequently be followed for one year off of medication The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of tamoxifen in reducing breast density by mammogram
Detailed Description: The project is a double blind randomized placebo-controlled phase II chemoprevention trial

The study outcomes will be biological markers rather than cancer incidence or mortality Eligible study subjects will be women between the ages 25-45 whose calculated lifetime breast cancer risk is 20 25 by the Couch model

Study participants will be randomly assigned to receive either tamoxifen or placebo for one year Participants will subsequently be followed for one year off of medication

The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of tamoxifen in reducing breast density by mammogram Mammographic density has been correlated with breast cancer risk and reduced breast density may have the added benefit of improving the sensitivity of breast cancer screening in young women Breast density will be employed as a marker of progression-related - proliferative - mechanisms of carcinogenesis

Secondary study outcomes will include estrogen ratios catechol estrogenestradiol and markers of oxidative DNA damage in peripheral blood and urine markers of progression-related - mutational - events in carcinogenesis The responsiveness of these outcomes will suggest the mechanisms through which tamoxifen exerts its preventive effect Persistence of the markers after one year of treatment may also provide early information about the anticipated duration of the tamoxifen effect
