Filter by:This study is designed to evaluate the ability of intravenously (IV)administered 131-I-labeled TM-601 (chlorotoxin) to provide tumor-specific localization(via radiographic imaging) in patients with recurrent or refractory primary solid tumors with evidence of metastatic involvement. (Refractory tumors are non-responsive to standard treatment.) The safety and tolerability of IV administered 131-I-TM-601 in this patient population will be evaluated as part of this study.
To measure arm function and quality of life of mastectomy patients.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as epirubicin, cyclophosphamide, and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Giving chemotherapy and a monoclonal antibody before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving epirubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel and trastuzumab works in treating women with HER2-positive stage IIIB, stage IIIC, or stage IV primary breast cancer.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether locally advanced breast cancer responds (by shrinking, by not progressing or by being destroyed) to combined chemotherapy (gemcitabine, epirubicin and paclitaxel) given before surgery to patients with locally advanced breast cancer. This study will also evaluate the toxicity of the chemotherapy combination to patients and will determine survival and progression-free survival 2 years after treatment. Also, the study will look at whether there are molecular and genetic changes in the tumor tissue that match the tumor's response to the chemotherapy.
This is an open phase II multicentre study evaluating the efficacy and safety of the non pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Myocet®) and docetaxel (Taxotere®) combination as first-line treatment of patients with metastatic HER2/neu negative breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Stereotactic radiation therapy can send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known whether stereotactic radiation therapy is more effective with or without whole-brain radiation therapy in treating patients with brain metastases. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying stereotactic radiation therapy and whole-brain radiation therapy to see how well they work compared with stereotactic radiation therapy alone in treating patients with brain metastases.
RATIONALE: Studying the barriers that prevent minority and low-income women from undergoing cancer screening, and offering encouragement to them over the telephone, may help improve cancer screening rates. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well a telephone-based Prevention Care Manager increases screening rates for breast cancer, cervical cancer, and colorectal cancer in minority and low-income women.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether zoledronic acid given intravenously every 6 months can prevent reduction in bone mineral density in women with early stage breast cancer receiving adjuvant therapy with the aromatase inhibitor drug letrozole, after having received adjuvant tamoxifen.
This study examines the safety and efficacy of zoledronic acid 4 mg., given every 3 months over 24 months (infusion at month 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 21) in improving bone mineral density in premenopausal women with hormone receptor negative breast cancer and adjuvant chemotherapeutic treatment
The objective of this study is to assess the clinical benefit of two different dosing schedules of zoledronic acid in patients with metastatic bone lesions from breast cancer who have already been treated with zoledronic acid for about one year.
