Filter by:This is a case collection study of breast images using standard and new mammography technology.
The purpose of this survey is to examine the safety and efficacy of long-term use (96 weeks) of leuprorelin acetate SR (slow release) 11.25 milligram (mg) for injection (Leuplin SR 11.25 mg for Injection) in premenopausal breast cancer patients in daily medical practice, as well as to examine factors that can influence the safety and efficacy of treatment with leuprorelin acetate SR 11.25 mg for injection (Leuplin SR 11.25 mg for Injection).
Overview: This is a 6 month, two-arm randomized clinical trial using comparing exergaming to a control group. The investigators will randomize Black sedentary overweight/obese women to Wii Fit exercise (n=50) or the control arm (n=50). Women in the Wii Fit exercise group will come to the Georgetown community-based exercise facility 3 days/wk. The control group will be asked to maintain their current daily activities and not to exercise for the duration of the study. Based on the investigators previous findings that women who engage in 75-150 mins/wk of brisk walking had an 18% decreased risk of breast cancer, the investigators will target this level of activity in the investigators intervention arm. Also, this 150 min/week of physical activity meets the current recommendations of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the US Department of Health and Human Services for healthy individuals and is in line with recommendation of the American Cancer Society (ACS) for cancer prevention.
Testing BRCA 1/2 mutation is important for patients with breast cancer, and Sanger sequencing is a standard method to identify BRCA 1/2 mutation. Next generation sequencing (NGS) is a high-throughput parallel sequencing that can provide genetic information with high accuracy. NGS is a faster and cost-effective method to detect gene mutations compared to Sanger sequencing. In this study, we evaluated the clinical role of NGS testing for BRCA 1/2 compared to Sanger sequencing.
This randomized double-blind clinical trial studied the effect of oral omega-3 fatty acid on atrophic vaginitis in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors (N=52). Omega-3 fatty acid may reduce inflammation and improve vaginal symptoms in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors.
The purpose of this study is to test a psycho-educational intervention, Managing Cancer Care: A Personal Guide (MCC), that is intended to improve patients' knowledge of palliative care and to facilitate its timely integration into self-management of their breast cancer. The MCC will be tested with patients with Stage I-IV breast cancer at baseline, one, and three months following enrollment. The intervention group will receive the MCC, and the attention-control group will receive a symptom management toolkit. Participants' family caregivers will also be enrolled to provide information on patients' self-management. Investigators hypothesize that users of MCC, as compared to attention-control participants, will demonstrate improved knowledge, feelings, and behaviors related to self-management of their cancer care. This innovative research can help to establish palliative care as a mainstay of self-management interventions that target serious illnesses.
Radiation dermatitis is experienced by almost all patients (up to 95%) receiving radiation therapy for cancer. Radiation dermatitis can be a serious condition because, in addition to its direct physical complications and the resulting impact on overall quality of life, it can also be a dose-limiting toxicity requiring changes to the prescribed course of radiation therapy. The most common strategy employed in an attempt to prevent or minimize radiation dermatitis involves moisturization of the irradiated area, use of a mild soap to keep the area clean, and minimizing exposure to potential mechanical irritants, such as scratching and rough clothing. However, this strategy has been shown to lack clinically significant efficacy. Consequently, there is a clinical need for new treatments that are effective in protecting against radiotherapy-induced oxidative stress and the subsequent development of radiation dermatitis. Based on data from previous studies in animals and humans, Reata believes that omaveloxolone (RTA 408) Lotion may effectively prevent and mitigate radiation dermatitis in oncology patients undergoing radiation therapy. This randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, parallel-group trial will study the efficacy, tolerability and safety of two concentrations of omaveloxolone (RTA 408) Lotion (3% and 0.5%) versus vehicle in patients with breast cancer for whom radiation therapy is recommended.
In a general radiation oncology practice, breast cancer typically comprises approximately 25% of the total patient caseload.1 Surgery is the primary modality of treatment. Radical mastectomy remained the mainstay of surgical therapy into the 1970s. Breast-conserving surgery followed by radiation therapy to the intact breast is an established standard of care for the majority of women with early stage invasive breast cancer. Recommended techniques for breast-conservation treatment are local excision of the primary tumor, preferably with clear margins, axillary lymph node dissection, and breast irradiation (45 to 50 Gy), usually with a boost (10 to 20 Gy, depending on tumor size and status of the surgical margins). The aim of this study is to compare the two boost regimen 10Gy/5#/1 week with 16Gy/8#/1.5 weeks in post lumpectomy patients of early stage breast cancer, following whole breast irradiation (WBI). The study will include 50 patients, (25 in each arm) of early stage post lumpectomy breast cancer patients. Each patient will be treated by WBI followed by tumor bed boost with either electron beam therapy or 3D CRT. The primary end point of the study will be assessment of acute and late radiation toxicities, cosmetic score analysis and local control between two schedules. Secondary end points will be recurrence-free survival.
The primary objective of the study is to test a new radiotracer called 64Cu-DOTA-AE105 for PET imaging of uPAR (urokinase plasminogen activator receptor). The tracer has the potential of identifying the invasive cancer phenotype, thereby distinguishing between aggressive and less aggressive tumors. This is a first in human study to test the radiotracer in cancer patients. The biodistribution and tumor uptake will be evaluated by repeated PET imaging (1,3 and 24 hours post injection).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and activity of gemcitabine plus trastuzumab and pertuzumab in patients with metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)+ breast cancer who have progressed on at least one prior line of chemotherapy plus HER2 targeted agent such as T-DM1, trastuzumab, or lapatinib.
