Purpose
This is a phase II study which will enroll 40 postmenopausal women who are at high risk for breast cancer development. The goal is to determine whether a one-year intervention of high-dose vitamin D at 2 different doses (20,000 IU weekly or 30,000 IU weekly) will increase circulating blood levels of vitamin D and to obtain preliminary data on the biologic effects of vitamin D for breast cancer prevention.

Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Change in breast density as assessed by mammography and breast MRI [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Safety and Tolerability [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Elevated risk of breast cancer defined as having at least one of the following: (1) Predicted 5-year modified Gail model risk of 1.67% or greater, (2) Lobular carcinoma in situ, (3) Known BRCA1 or BRCA2 deleterious mutation carrier, (4) Prior history of ductal carcinoma in situ, if no current tamoxifen use or prior radiation to the contralateral breast.
- Age 21 years or older.
- Postmenopausal defined as > 6 months since the last menstrual period, prior bilateral oophrectomy, or serum FSH/LH values consistent with institutional normal values for the postmenopausal state.
- Baseline mammographic density ≥25% as assessed qualitatively by the mammographer (25-50% = "scattered fibroglandular densities"; >50-75% = "heterogeneously dense breasts"; >75% = "extremely dense breasts").
- Baseline serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D <32 ng/ml.
- Normal breast exam and mammogram (BIRADS score of 1 or 2).
- Prior tamoxifen or raloxifene use is allowed provided treatment is discontinued at least 28 days prior to enrollment.
- At least one breast available for imaging. No bilateral breast implants.
- Willingness to not take vitamin D supplements during the one year intervention, but up to 1000mg of calcium supplementation is allowed.
- Normal serum calcium.
- No history of kidney stones.
- Adequate renal and hepatic function: serum creatinine, bilirubin, AST, ALT and alkaline phosphatase < 2.0 x the institutional upper limit of normal (IULN).
- No hypersensitivity reactions to vitamin D.
- Zubrod performance status of 0 or 1.
- Not on estrogen replacement therapy.
- No significant medical or psychiatric condition that would preclude study completion.
