Filter by:The primary objective is to compare ARIMIDEX (anastrozole) 1 mg once daily with Tamoxifen 20 mg once daily as adjuvant treatment in terms of: incidence of fatty liver diseases. The second objectives are to compare ARIMIDEX (anastrozole) 1 mg once daily with Tamoxifen 20 mg once daily as adjuvant treatment in terms of: incidences of abnormal liver function test, and time to treatment failure.
The purpose of this study is to prevent chemotherapy-related febrile neutropenia, prophylaxis with antibiotics and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) have proven efficacious [1-3]. G-CSF has only few side effects, but is expensive. In 2006, updated G-CSF guidelines conclude that primary G-CSF prophylaxis has clinical benefits for and should be offered to patients at a more than 20% risk of febrile neutropenia. Based on many positive and few negative trials, one can consider the use of taxanes as standard of care in the adjuvant setting in node-positive breast cancer. Taxanes (with or without anthracyclines) have an increased risk for febrile neutropenia. The updated guidelines and changes in daily clinical practice will have a significant impact on the investigators health care resources. There is a higher risk of febrile neutropenia for the first chemotherapy cycle compared to subsequent cycles in small cell lung cancer patients. Also in advanced breast cancer the majority of first observed episodes of febrile neutropenia occur in the initial chemotherapy cycles Irrespective of tumour type or chemotherapy regimen, the risk of febrile neutropenia is highest during the first two cycles of chemotherapy. Thereafter, the risk rapidly declines, and the benefit of G-CSF largely seems to disappear. So, in order to improve the cost-effective administration of primary G-CSF prophylaxis, it is justified to assess whether G-CSF prophylaxis can be limited to the first two chemotherapy cycles as compared to the current practice of continuous G-CSF prophylaxis.
To compare DBT and FFDM for screening effectiveness in women who present for screening mammography with respect to screening recall rate.
Phase II trial of Neoadjuvant [FEC100]/Cisplatin-Docetaxel ± Trastuzumab in women with over expressed or amplified Her2/Neu with Locally advanced Breast Cancer
This study will assess optimal duration of pre-operative treatment with letrozole and to correlate clinical efficacy with appropriate surrogate markers.
Comparison of the ability of DBT and FFDM to detect breast cancer.
Comparison of the ability of DBT and FFDM to detect breast cancer.
The objectives of this study are to: 1) describe the prevalence of neuropathic pain (NP) in breast cancer survivors and 2) to develop preliminary statistical risk models for predicting the risk for NP incorporating disease-related variables (e.g., stage of disease, location of tumor), treatment variables (chemotherapy, dose, duration; and other cancer therapy), clinical health status (e.g., comorbid conditions), and sociodemographic characteristics (e.g., age, sex, race). Researchers will also gather data to answer the following secondary aims: 1. To assess the impact of NP on quality of life. 2. To assess the current management of NP in cancer (current medication, duration of such treatment, reasons for discontinuation) and the outcomes of this management.
Prospective & Retrospective data collection of breast cancer cases from 2000 to present
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as positron emission tomography (PET) using 3'-deoxy-3'-(18F) fluorothymidine, may be effective in assessing the response to chemotherapy before surgery in treating locally advanced breast cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well positron emission tomography using 3'-deoxy-3'-(18F) fluorothymidine works in treating women with locally advanced cancer in one breast who are receiving chemotherapy.
