Filter by:The purpose of this multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group study is to compare efficacy and safety between anastrozole and tamoxifen in pre- and post-operative administration under goserelin acetate treatment for premenopausal breast cancer patients
This study was designed to determine the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant docetaxel and epirubicin (DE) with or without human recombinant endostatin (endostar) for breast cancer patients. The hypothesis of this protocol is that a combined angiogenesis inhibiting therapy to chemotherapy could further enhance the cytotoxic activity in breast cancer.
The primary objective of this 2-year pilot project is to test the hypothesis that skeletal response to aromatase inhibitors is determined by polymorphisms of the CYP19 gene.
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as multifunctional magnetic resonance imaging and CT scans, may help reduce normal tissue damage in patients undergoing radiation therapy for cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well radiation therapy planning techniques work in reducing damage to normal tissue in women undergoing breast-conserving surgery for ductal breast carcinoma.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving intraoperative radiation therapy after lumpectomy followed by external-beam radiation therapy may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well radiation therapy works in treating women undergoing lumpectomy for stage I or stage IIA breast cancer.
This is a phase I/II clinical research study with BGT226, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3K). The study consists of a Phase I dose escalation part followed by a safety expansion part and a Phase II expansion part. Once the MTD has been defined, the safety expansion and efficacy expansion parts of the trial will be opened for enrollment. Phase I safety expansion part will enroll advanced solid tumors. Phase II expansion part will enroll advanced breast cancer. An effort will be made to enrich the trial population with Cowden Syndrome patients with advanced solid malignancies.
The purpose of this study is to assess the pathological response rate in operable breast cancer patients treated by neoadjuvant combination "Taxotere-Erbitux".
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects of partial breast radiation therapy and how well it works in treating women undergoing breast conservation therapy for early-stage breast cancer.
To Test Effect of Soy Supplementation on Cellular Markers in Normal and Cancerous Breast Tissue using a Randomized Placebo Controlled Study. Objectives: - To determine (by immunohistochemistry) whether specific cellular markers and gene products associated with breast carcinoma can be altered by soy therapy. - To identify genes that can be altered by soy therapy in normal and neoplastic breast tissues by unbiased gene expression analysis using microarrays. - To compare specific cellular markers and pathways (immunohistochemistry), and gene expression using microarrays in normal and cancerous breast tissue.
The purpose of the research is to examine the usefulness of using patient navigators in improving coordination of care between the Breast Examination Center in Harlem (BECH) and the Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Care and Prevention (RLCCCP) for patients with a suspicious breast finding. This study will collect information to improve the role of the Patient Navigator, nonmedical staff that helps coordinate patient care. The study will also collect information to be used to help remove barriers that happen when several different institutions provide care.
