Summary

This study will assess whether levels of vitamin D impact the characteristics of a woman's breast cancer at diagnosis, and whether a short course of vitamin D in women with low levels of vitamin D changes the gene expression of their breast cancers.

Eligibility Criteria

INCLUSION CRITERIA

  • Undergoing core needle biopsy for a breast abnormality suspicious for breast cancer.
  • Has undergone a core needle biopsy demonstrating breast cancer and has not yet had any further therapy, provided the core needle biopsy is available for analysis.
  • No prior therapy for breast cancer within the past 5 years.
  • 18 years of age or older.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

EXCLUSION CRITERIA

  • History of parathyroid disease, hypercalcemia, or kidney stones.
  • Supplemental vitamin D other than from a standard multiple vitamin or from standard formulations of calcium and vitamin D (eg, calcium citrate with vitamin D) within the prior 6 months.
  • History of renal failure requiring dialysis or kidney transplantation.
  • Pregnant or nursing
  • Receiving supplemental calcium > 1200 mg calcium per day during study.
  • Initial treatment of breast cancer will not be with breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy.
  • Locally-advanced breast cancer
  • Plans for neoadjuvant chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, or other systemic therapy
  • Plans for preoperative radiation therapy
  • Plans for breast cancer surgery, and does not allow for at least 10 days of vitamin D intervention.
  • Any condition potentially interfering with subjects ability to comply with taking study medication.
  • Any medical condition that would potentially interfere with vitamin D absorption, such as celiac sprue, ulcerative colitis.
  • Current participation in another research study that would increase risk to subject, in the opinion of the investigators
