Filter by:Patient Navigation is a Supportive Care Intervention that addresses barriers to quality standard care by providing individualized assistance to patients and families. The NCI is conducting several research programs to test the effectiveness of this approach. The expected outcomes of patient navigation through the cancer care system include: - Timely, definitive diagnosis following an abnormal test - Timely treatment following positive diagnosis - Patient satisfaction with the diagnostic and care system experience
RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of blood from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that may occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at the effects of surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy on biomarkers in women with stage I, stage II, stage III breast cancer, or ductal carcinoma in situ that can be removed by surgery.
RATIONALE: Printed educational materials, such as the Facing Forward Series: Life After Cancer Treatment manual, may help make the transition from cancer patient to cancer survivor easier in patients who are finishing treatment for cancer. It is not yet known if the Facing Forward Series: Life After Cancer Treatment manual and The Cancer Information Service, Questions and Answers fact sheet is more effective than the The Cancer Information Service, Questions and Answers fact sheet alone in helping to make life after cancer treatment easier and to improve quality of life in patients with breast cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, or chest cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well printed education materials work in assisting patients who are finishing treatment for stage I, stage II, or stage IIIA breast cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, or chest cancer to make the transition from cancer patient to cancer survivor easier.
This study is designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of the combination of imatinib and vinorelbine in patients with advanced, anthracycline resistant breast cancer
This is an exploratory trial evaluating the tolerability and preliminary anti-tumor activity of SU011248 combined with docetaxel and trastuzumab in patients with locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer over-expressing Her-2, who have not received chemotherapy treatment in the advanced disease setting.
This study will determine whether the investigational drug dasatinib is effective in treatment of women with progressive advanced ER+/PR+ or Her2/neu+ breast cancer
This study will determine whether the investigational drug dasatinib is effective in treatment of women with progressive advanced triple-negative breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as bone mineral density testing and x-ray, help measure bone loss in women receiving treatment for breast cancer. The test results may help doctors plan better treatment. PURPOSE: This phase III trial is studying bone density and bone loss in postmenopausal women with breast cancer receiving treatment in clinical trial IBCSG-1-98.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is collecting skin biopsy specimens from patients receiving irinotecan or gemcitabine for advanced solid tumors and using them to study change in DNA due to this treatment.
Phase II trial to explore the efficacy of vorinostat and tamoxifen combined.
