I am designing a mouse experiment for testing a new treatment for bladder cancer. The idea is to evaluate treatment effectiveness and treatment by gene interactions. The variables are:

Outcome (Y): binary (0/1); presence/absence of tumor
Covariate1 (X1):  categorical (0/1/2);  genotype of mouse (XX, X0, 00)
Covariate2 (X2):  binary (0/1); presence/absence of treatment

I am having trouble calculating the sample size for this experiment.  Does anyone know of an S-Plus or R function that has been written to calculate sample size for a multiple logistic regression situation?
