Purpose RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a person's white blood cells mixed with peptides may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best way to give vaccine therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients with ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast.

Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES:
Primary
<LI style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.7ex">To establish the safety of HER2/neu peptide-pulsed autologous type 1 dendritic cell vaccine when administered via 3 different routes in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast.
To establish the immune response rate in patients treated with this vaccine.
Secondary
<LI style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.7ex">To evaluate changes in HER2/neu molecular expression pre- and post-vaccination. <LI style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.7ex">To evaluate the clinical response pre-and post-vaccination.
To conduct exploratory analyses of possible relationships among these outcomes.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms.
Patients undergo leukapheresis to obtain monocyte fractions for generation of the vaccine. The monocytes are cultured with GM-CSF, interleukin-4, interferon gamma, and lipopolysaccharide and pulsed with HER2/neu peptides for the production of type 1 dendritic cells.
<LI style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.7ex">Arm I: Patients receive HER2/neu peptide-pulsed autologous type 1 dendritic cell vaccine intranodally into 1-2 different normal groin or axillary lymph nodes once weekly for 6 weeks. <LI style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.7ex">Arm II: Patients receive HER2/neu peptide-pulsed autologous type 1 dendritic cell vaccine intralesionally into the quadrant of the affected breast once weekly for 6 weeks.
Arm III: Patients receive HER2/neu peptide-pulsed autologous type 1 dendritic cell vaccine intranodally and intralesionally as in arms I and II.
Within 2-3 weeks after the completion of the last vaccination, patients undergo complete surgical excision (wide excision or mastectomy to negative margins) of their tumor.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 5 years and then annually thereafter.
