Brief Summary: RATIONALE Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer The use of raloxifene and goserelin may be effective in preventing breast cancer
PURPOSE Randomized pilot study to study the effectiveness of combining raloxifene and goserelin in preventing breast cancer in women who have a family history of breast cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Compare the feasibility of raloxifene and goserelin versus no medical intervention in women at high genetic risk for developing breast cancer Compare the incidence of adverse effects in patients treated with these regimens Compare the effect of these regimens on bone density biochemical markers of bone turnover and lipid profiles in these patients Compare the quality of life of patients treated with these regimens
OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are stratified according to participating center Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms
Arm I Patients receive goserelin subcutaneously once every month and oral raloxifene daily for 6-12 months Arm II Patients are screened for breast cancer every 6 months In both arms patients undergo annual mammograms
Quality of life is assessed at baseline and at 1 3 6 and 12 months
Patients are followed for 5 years
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 150 patients 75 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study
