Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients Who Are Undergoing Surgery for Ductal Carcinoma In Situ of the Breast

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Breast Cancer

In brief

RATIONALE: Vaccines made from peptides and a person's white blood cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Injecting the vaccine directly into a lymph node may cause a stronger immune response and kill more tumor cells. Giving vaccine therapy before surgery may be effective treatment for ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best way to give vaccine therapy in treating patients who are undergoing surgery for ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast.
