Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy such as capecitabine work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing Pegylated interferon alfa-2a may interfere with the growth of tumor cells Giving capecitabine together with pegylated interferon alfa-2a may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE This phase II trial is studying how well giving capecitabine together with pegylated interferon alfa-2a works in treating patients with recurrent or progressive brain metastases due to breast cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the efficacy of capecitabine and pegylated interferon alfa-2a in terms of 6-month neurologic progression-free rate in patients with recurrent or progressive brain metastases secondary to breast cancer

Secondary

Determine the toxicity spectrum of this regimen in these patients
Determine the time to neurologic progression and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen

OUTLINE This is an open-label multicenter study

Patients receive oral capecitabine twice daily on days 1-14 and pegylated interferon alfa-2a subcutaneously on days 1 8 and 15 Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for at least 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 38-98 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years
