Core Tip	Cancer clusters are of interest because of the possibility of identifying etiologic agents. Such cluster investigations have been successful rarely. One major difficulty in the cluster investigations, particularly in the area of breast cancer, is the long latent period. The possibility of learning from a cluster investigation is greatly increased if the cancer is relatively rare and has a short latent period. Inflammatory breast cancer fits these criteria and is worth pursuing because of the strong evidence that environmental factors play a major role. In this report we describe our experience with several clusters and the lessons learned.
