Filter by:RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Vaccines made from gene-modified tumor cells may help the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Giving trastuzumab together with cyclophosphamide and vaccine therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving trastuzumab together with cyclophosphamide and vaccine therapy in treating patients with high-risk or metastatic breast cancer.
This single-arm study assessed the efficacy and safety of first-line treatment with Avastin (bevacizumab) in combination with taxane-based chemotherapy (paclitaxel and gemcitabine) in patients with HER-2 negative breast cancer. Patients received Avastin 10 mg/kg iv, paclitaxel 150 mg/m^2 iv, and gemcitabine 200 mg/m^2 iv on Day 1 and Day 15 of each 4-week treatment cycle until disease progression, death, or withdrawal of consent.
RATIONALE: Broccoli sprout extract supplements may slow the growth of tumor cells or abnormal cells and may be an effective treatment for ductal carcinoma in situ and/or atypical ductal hyperplasia. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well broccoli sprout extract works in treating women with a diagnosis of breast cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ and/or atypical ductal hyperplasia.
Prolactin is known to play an important role in breast development and differentiation. Thus proliferative breast diseases are good models to unravel PRl / PRLR function in proliferative processes. The aim of this project is to identify and to characterize new mutants of the prolactin receptor gene within cohorts of benign or malign breast diseases with low or high occurrence frequency in human populations
Phase II randomized multicenter trial to compare Epirubicin and Cyclophosphamide plus Docetaxel and Trastuzumab with Epirubicin and Cyclophosphamide plus Docetaxel and Lapatinib for patients with positive HER2 and resectable or locally advanced breast cancer.
The purposes of this study are the following: 1. To assess safety and document local and systemic toxicity to the peptide vaccine (E75) 2. To determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and optimal biologic dose (OBD) for the peptide vaccine 3. To evaluate the in vivo cellular immune response to the peptide vaccine 4. To evaluate time to recurrence in the vaccinated patients vs. matched controls
Mammographic density is sensitive to estorgen exposure and constitutes a strong intermediate maker of breast cancer risk. We hypothesize that women with higher serum xenoestrogen levels will have greater mammographic density.
The goal of this epidemiologic research study is to find out if various risk factors and certain markers (substances that help identify the presence of cancer) that help predict increased occurrence and prognosis (outcome of disease) of breast cancer differ among Mexican, Mexican-American, and African-American women.
To assess the magnitude and frequency of changes in chemo/cytokine expression in women receiving radiation treatment. To asses the impact of race/ethnicity on the magnitude and frequency of changes in chemo/cytokine expression during radiation therapy for breast cancer. And finally to assess the interaction between radiation-induced chemo/cytokine expression changes, and race/ethnicity, with respect to normal tissue reactions to radiation and tumor-associated outcomes.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bendamustine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving bendamustine together with erlotinib may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving bendamustine together with erlotinib in treating patients with stage IIIB, stage IIIC, or stage IV breast cancer.
