Filter by:Patients treated with chemotherapy complain of poor sleep, fatigue and depression. In addition, chemotherapy disrupts the body's internal "biological clock", which may make sleep, fatigue and depression all worse. Women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy are not exposed to much bright light and this may also contribute to the disruption of their body clock, because bright light is necessary for a strong biological clock. One of the easiest ways to strengthen the biological clock is by increasing bright light exposure. The correct timing of the light exposure will help the women feel more alert during the day.
RATIONALE: Women may stay up-to-date with cancer screening if a health professional helps them overcome barriers to screening, including helping them to schedule cancer screening appointments. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying the use of health professional-tailored telephone support compared with usual care from their personal doctor to help women overcome barriers to screening for colorectal, cervical, and breast cancer.
This is a pilot study to gather preliminary data on the baseline immunologic status of patients with HER-2(+) breast cancer and to establish an immune monitoring laboratory for future clinical trial.
This purpose of this study is to test whether a 6-month yoga program improves quality of life and reduces fatigue and weight gain in breast cancer survivors.
This 2 arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of intravenous Herceptin with or without a taxane for the first line treatment of metastatic breast cancer in women who have relapsed at least 12 months after a minimum of 10 months of (neo)adjuvant treatment with Herceptin for HER2-positive early breast cancer.Patients will receive either Herceptin monotherapy (loading dose of 4mg/kg iv, followed by weekly doses of 2mg/kg iv, or 8mg/kg loading dose followed by 3-weekly doses of 6mg/kg)or Herceptin + a taxane (docetaxel 100mg/m2 iv every 3 weeks, or paclitaxel 175mg/m2 iv every 3 weeks or 75mg/m2 every week). The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI, may help diagnose breast cancer. It may also help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying breast MRI in women with known or suspected breast cancer and in healthy participants.
The goal of this clinical research study is to evaluate a new two-stage approach (delayed-immediate reconstruction) to breast reconstruction in women who may require post-mastectomy radiation therapy. Researchers will compare the cosmetic outcomes and any complications that occur in women who receive delayed-immediate reconstruction to those who receive the standard approaches (either immediate reconstruction or delayed breast reconstruction).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of bevacizumab to Abraxane as second-line therapy in Her-2 negative, hormone receptor negative metastatic breast cancer.
The purpose of this trial is to collect plasma, serum, whole blood and tissue samples from women with breast cancer and plasma, serum, whole blood from healthy women, which will be made available to researchers for biomarker analysis.
RATIONALE: A questionnaire that evaluates a patient's expectations about breast reconstruction surgery may help doctors improve patient education before surgery and increase patient satisfaction after surgery. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is developing a questionnaire to evaluate patient expectations for breast reconstruction in women with breast cancer or other conditions.
