NET are produced by the body to fight infections but have also been linked to side effects caused by the body's immune system. Treatment with tamoxifen increases the production of NETs. This study may help researchers determine if the increased number of NETs in the body has a damaging effect in breast cancer.", 'detailedDescription': 'PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:\n\nI. To examine the effect of long-term tamoxifen (TAM) treatment on excessive NET formation in breast cancer patients.\n\nSECONDARY OBJECTIVES:\n\nI. To understand the molecular mechanisms of tamoxifen-induced NET formation in breast cancer patients by examining the effect of long-term TAM treatment on the NET-induced factors.\n\nII. To correlate the extend of NET formation with clinical data on tamoxifen resistance, drug side-effects, cancer metastasis and comorbidities.\n\nEXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:\n\nI. To explore the association between the extent of NET formation and clinical data for breast cancer patients treated with TAM in combination with other drugs.\n\nOUTLINE:\n\nPatients undergo collection of blood samples and their medical charts are reviewed.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'FEMALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women diagnosed with estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer being treated with tamoxifen for at least 6 months.', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Female\n* Age criteria for pre-menopausal group: Equal to or greater than 18 years of age and less than or equal to 45 years of age.
