Filter by:The MotHER Pregnancy Registry is a United States (U.S.)-based, prospective, observational cohort study in women with breast cancer who have been or are being treated with a trastuzumab (herceptin)-containing regimen with or without pertuzumab (perjeta) or ado-trastuzumab emtansine (kadcyla) during pregnancy or within 7 months prior to conception (regardless of cancer stage at the time of trastuzumab, pertuzumab, or ado-trastuzumab emtansine exposure).
RATIONALE: A multimedia educational program may help patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer and breast cancer reduce distress, make informed treatment decisions, and improve quality of life. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well a multimedia educational program works in patients with early-stage prostate cancer or breast cancer.
This is a randomised pilot study comparing conventional sutures (Vicryl and Monocryl) with antiseptic coated equivalents (Vicryl plus andf Monocryl plus) in elective breast surgery.
Objectives: - To evaluate the attitudes and opinions of women undergoing genetic counseling for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome, both before and after testing, in regards to pregnancy and fertility Hypothesis: -Factors that will increase the percentage of women endorsing prenatal diagnostic testing will include a personal history of breast or ovarian cancer, having had a mother or sister die of breast or ovarian cancer, and testing positive for a BRCA mutation.
RATIONALE: Acupuncture and moxibustion may improve well-being and quality of life in patients with lymphedema caused by breast cancer or head, neck, and throat cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well acupuncture given together with moxibustion works in improving well-being and quality of life in patients with breast cancer or head, neck, and throat cancer who are undergoing standard treatment for lymphedema.
RATIONALE: Sorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vinorelbine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving sorafenib together with vinorelbine may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of sorafenib when given together with vinorelbine and to see how well they work in treating women with stage IV breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to compare conventional breast imaging and diagnostic work-up (2 dimensional imaging) to digital breast tomosynthesis (3 dimensional imaging) in the appearance of non-calcified breast masses. It is thought that non-calcified breast masses will be better visualized with the new 3D technology.
This is a randomized, controlled, pilot study to determine the safety and efficacy of acupuncture as an adjunct to pharmacological treatment compared to pharmacological intervention alone for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain related to aromatase inhibitors (AI) in postmenopausal breast cancer patients. Twenty participants (20 in each arm) will be enrolled at the Breast Oncology clinic at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC). Patients in the treatment arm will receive acupuncture administered twice weekly for six weeks and will be allowed to take pain medication as necessary. The control patients will initially receive pain medication alone, then will cross-over to the acupuncture arm after six weeks. The investigators hypothesize that acupuncture will reduce AI induced joint symptoms. The study will enroll a total of 40 patients, half of whom will be randomized to one of the two arms to receive acupuncture plus pharmacological treatment (arm A) or pharmacological treatment alone (arm B). Joint pain will be assessed by the BPI-SF score at baseline and six weeks. All patients will have a baseline BPI worst pain item (#2) ≥3 points on a scale of 0-10.
This is a research study to evaluate the effects of ThermoDox in combination with therapeutic heating of the chest wall in the treatment of recurrent regional breast cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the bioequivalence of ThermoDox and measure efficacy in recurrent chest wall patients.
The investigators want to investigate the effect of anaesthesia, on the ability to maintain upright posture immediately after surgery in mamma cancer patients. The investigators hypothesis is, that a standard anaesthesia does not effect the ability to maintain upright posture right after surgery.
