Brief Title: The Immune System's Response to Young Women's Breast Cancer
Official Title: A Translational Study of the Interactions Between Prior Pregnancy and the Biologic Subtype of Breast Cancer in Defining the Cancer: Host Immunologic Interaction
Study ID: NCT01503190
Brief Summary: This study plans to learn more about the immune system's response to breast cancer in young women.
Detailed Description: The investigators will be looking at the level of immune suppression in different types of breast cancer. The investigators will use blood, urine, and tissue samples from patients with Pregnancy Associated Breast Cancer (PABC) versus non-PABC, as well as comparing different types of breast cancer. If tissue sampling permits, the investigators may use some of the breast cancer tissue to develop models for human cancer for drug targeting. Understanding the immune response and suppression in different types of cancer will help us understand mechanisms involved in breast cancer better and help the investigators in developing new treatment in the future.
