Study Summary

RATIONALE: Androgens can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of androgen by the tumor cells. Letrozole may stop the adrenal glands from making androgens. Giving DHEA together with letrozole may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of DHEA when given together with letrozole in treating patients with metastatic breast cancer.

Interventions

  • DRUG letrozole
  • DRUG DHEA
