Surrogate biomarkers for risk assessment and efficacy of potential chemopreventive agents are needed to improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of conducting chemoprevention trials. In addition to criteria of sensitivity, specificity, quantifiability, and reproducibility applicable to most potent

## Abstract Surrogate endβpoint biomarkers are being developed as indicators of the efficacy of chemopreventive agents. These biomarkers are molecular and biological endβpoints that can be modulated by chemopreventive agents in accordance with their efficacy to prevent cancer. DNA hypomethylation i
Progression of breast neoplasia is characterized by a variety of causal and nonspecific molecular, karyotypic, and cellular level genetic alterations. These include allelic losses, chromosomal rearrangements, and aneusomies, as well as widely divergent clonal DNA content aberrations. Establishment o
Current chemoprevention trial designs based on epidemiological risk assessment and occurrence of cancer as an endpoint are inefficient and expensive. Novel biomarkers are needed to facilitate the development of chemopreventive interventions. The following four categories of biomarkers may be useful
Although conventional cytology represents the most widely performed cytometric analysis of bladder cancer cells, DNA flow cytometry has, over the past decade, been increasingly used to evaluate cell proliferation and DNA ploidy in cells from bladder washings. We have investigated whether DNA flow cy
Tamoxifen has proven to be beneficial in the chemoprevention of breast cancer in women at increased risk for the disease. Other compounds that mediate the estrogen pathway remain to be tested for clinical efficacy. The mechanism of action, efficacy, and dose response of the estrogen modulators is de
