Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy uses certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer. Celecoxib may be effective in preventing breast cancer in at-risk women. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of celecoxib in preventing breast cancer in premenopausal women who are at risk of developing cancer.
