Other objectives are: 2) to determine the effect of Tamoxifen on the pharmacokinetics of 9-cis-Retinoic acid; 3) to evaluate the anti-tumor activity of this combination therapy within the context of a phase I study; 4) and to determine the expression of surrogate biomarkers of breast carcinogenesis before and after treatment.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:\n\nAll patients must have histologically documented diagnosis of Stage III, or IV breast carcinoma.\n\nPatients with stage III that has completed chemotherapy: Estrogen receptor (ER) or progesterone receptor (PR) positive tumor required if premenopausal.
