Filter by:RATIONALE: Letrozole may prevent breast cancer in postmenopausal women with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying letrozole to see how well it works compared with a placebo in preventing breast cancer in postmenopausal women with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation.
The primary goal of the proposed study is to examine a cognitive behavioral intervention for insomnia (CBTI) in women after breast cancer treatment. Chronic Insomnia is a highly prevalent and distressing symptom in cancer patients. CBTI is considered the treatment of choice for chronic primary insomnia. Few studies have been conducted in cancer survivors to evaluate the effect of CBTI on sleep and clinically relevant outcomes.
Data from this pivotal clinical trial will be used to support a marketing application (i.e., NDA) for Navidea's Lymphoseek for use in intraoperative localization of lymph tissue (nodes) in the lymphatic pathway draining the primary site of a tumor.
The purpose of this research study is to determine the effects of the combination of bevacizumab, vinorelbine, and trastuzumab on participants and their cancer.
This is an open-label, multicenter randomized controlled, Phase III study comparing the disease free survival after randomisation in patients treated with 3 cycles of Epirubicin-Fluorouracil-Cyclophosphamide (FEC)-chemotherapy, followed by 3 cycles of Docetaxel (D)-chemotherapy versus 3 cycles of Epirubicin-Fluorouracil- Cyclophosphamide (FEC), followed by 3 cycles of Gemcitabine-Docetaxel(DG)- chemotherapy. Patients will be required to have HER2-neu positive disease and histopathological proof of axillary lymph node metastases (pN1-3) or high risk node negative, defined as: pT>=2 or histopathological grade 3, or age <= 35 or negative hormone receptor', but are not allowed to have evidence of distant disease. Patients will have to be entered into the study no later than 6 weeks after complete resection of the primary tumor. No other antineoplastic treatment other than surgical treatment, the defined cytotoxic and endocrine treatment and radiotherapy will be allowed prior to study entry and during the course of the study.
RATIONALE: Identifying why patients don't do self care for lymphedema may help doctors plan better at-home self-care treatment. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at self-care practices for lymphedema in patients with breast cancer.
The purpose of the study is to determine the overall response to a combination of bavituximab and docetaxel in patients with advanced breast cancer
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a treatment with 4 cycles anthracycline + cyclophoshamide followed by administration of 4 cycles paclitaxel is more effective than therapy with 4 cy<cles of anthracycline adminbistration followed by 4 cycles of paclitaxel
The goals of the study are to examine the effect in postmenopausal women of a one-year moderate intensity exercise intervention, as compared with a sedentary pattern (low-level stretching program), on: serum estrogens, androgens, sex hormone binding globulin, insulin, triglycerides, glucose, aromatase, FSH, LH, as well as parameters of body fat mass.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving paclitaxel together with bortezomib may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of paclitaxel and bortezomib in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable malignant solid tumors.
