Brief summary
To assess the effects of short term administration of celecoxib 400 mg bid between biopsy and reexcision.
Detailed description
A double blind randomized study of celecoxib 400 mg bid versus placebo in newly diagnosed breast cancer. Assessment of modulation of tissue markers (Ki-67, ER, VEGF, PR, etc.) and serum markers (estradiol, estrone, SHBG, etc.).

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* women with a recent diagnosis of T1 or T2 non-invasive breast cancer by large core needle or excisional biopsy * confirmation that tissue was processed in methods acceptable to protocol and sufficient tissue remains post-diagnostic analyses to perform research assessments * reexcision planned within 10 days to 6 weeks from study start * if on prevention tamoxifen or raloxifene, must have begun administration at least six weeks prior to initial biopsy and continue through reexcision
Exclusion criteria
* no hormone replacement therapy within the 90 days prior to biopsy * if on prevention tamoxifen or raloxifene, must have begun administration at least six weeks prior to initial biopsy and continue through reexcision * no evidence of metastatic malignancy of any kind * no history of asthma, allergy ASA, NSAIDS, celecoxib or other COX-2 inhibitors for a chronic non-oncological condition with the excision of low dose ASA (160 mg daily) during 4 weeks prior to biopsy and for the duration of the study. * no celecoxib or rofecoxib use within one month of biopsy * no history of gastrointestinal ulcer or ulcerative colitis requiring treatment * no current anticoagulants * no neoadjuvant antihormone or chemotherapy as treatment following biopsy prior to study entry or concurrently with participation on study * no aromatase inhibitor in the six months prior to participation * no concomitant lithium * no known significant bleeding disorder
