Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of radiation therapy following mastectomy on skin and blood vessels and to use information gathered to determine an ideal time for breast reconstruction after radiation.
This multi-center observational study will evaluate the use of Xeloda (capecitabine) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, colon cancer in the adjuvant setting, advanced gastric cancer and breast cancer in routine clinical practice. Eligible patients receiving treatment with Xeloda according to product label will be followed for up to 10 months.
This research study is being done to carefully evaluate the effect of giving radiation therapy after temporary breast reconstruction. The investigators want to see if this type of reconstruction combined with radiation will look better (once the final reconstruction has been completed) and will reduce the risk that the participant will develop complications that sometimes occur with other kinds of reconstruction procedures. The investigators also want to know if it is easier to give the radiation with this type of reconstruction than with other kinds of reconstruction procedures. The reconstruction procedure involves the temporary use of a tissue expander and an acellular dermal matrix (ADM).
The study aims to analyse and decode interviews of patient with breast cancer, and then established according a multidimensional profile specific to the population and to create a questionnaire tha will allow a practical and qualitative evaluation of the quality of life.
This prospective observational study will evaluate the use in clinical practice, efficacy and safety of Avastin (bevacizumab) in combination with paclitaxel in first line in patients with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. Data will be collected from eligible patients for up to 2.5 years.
Breast carcinoma is the most frequent cancer in women, affecting an estimated 207,090 in 2010 leading to 39,840 cancer related deaths. Fludeoxyglucose F 18 Injection (FDG) Positron Emission Tomography, (PET) or PET-CT has become the a standard method for isolating the tumor. However, FDG is insensitive in small breast tumors and certain histologic types such as lobular, certain types of breast carcinoma. In addition, FDG uptake can be nonspecific since inflammatory some benign lesions may also evidence have accumulation of this radiotracer. Hence there is a need for a tracer/imaging tool that increases the ability to characterize detect breast carcinoma and to detect locoregional spread, as well as monitor therapeutic treatment response. anti-3-[18F]. anti-1-amino-3-[18F]fluorocyclobutyl-1-carboxylic acid (FACBC) is an amino acid based PET radiotracer which has shown utility in detecting a variety of tumors. In cell culture experiments,FACBC has shown uptake in the breast tumor cell line. The primary aim of this study is to determine if FACBC PET-CT demonstrates uptake within breast carcinoma (primary site and/or locoregional lymph nodes) and to study uptake kinetics via time-activity curves from dynamic imaging characteristics. The investigators will enroll 12 patients who have a breast mass or masses and/or lymph nodes naïve to therapy about to undergo biopsy or post-biopsy pre-therapy. All patients will undergo standard of care imaging as appropriate such as mammography, ultrasound, MR, and/or FDG PET-CT scanning. The investigators will then compare findings to determine if this radiotracer is worthy of further study in a more comprehensive experiment.
National, randomized, unblinded, phase IIb trial with 2 strata: First-line chemotherapy / Second-line chemotherapy for locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
The primary objective of this work is to determine if half-dose Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) performed with 4 mCi Tc-99m sestamibi with or without Wide Beam Reconstruction applied can achieve image quality and diagnostic accuracy non-inferior to that of standard MBI performed with 8 millicurie (mCi) Tc-99m sestamibi.
Extended phase 1 trial of combined metformin and erlotinib in advanced triple negative breast cancer patients. The goals of the study are to establish the maximum tolerated combined dosing of erlotinib and metformin as well as deciding if there is a potential clinical utility of the combination in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer.
This is a randomized open label dose finding study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of F-627 on women with Stage I-IV breast cancer receiving chemotherapy treatment.
