Must have given written informed consent before any study-related activities are carried out and must be able to understand the full nature and purpose of the trial, including possible risks and adverse effects 14. Willing to provide blood and breast tissue samples for research purposes at specified timepoints for the duration of their participation in the trial. Exclusion Criteria: 1.

Adequately treated in situ carcinoma of the cervix uteri 2. Adequately treated basal cell carcinoma or localized squamous cell carcinoma of the skin 3. Any other malignancy with a life expectancy of less than 2 years 3. Any uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to: 1.

Hormonal therapies including birth control and hormone replacement therapy, or prior use of androgen-based therapy during the study or within 1 week of registration. If subject has a prior medical history of Depo-Provera®, it is recommended that the last dose of 3-month contraceptive agents are \> 2.5 months from registration. 7.
