Filter by:RATIONALE: Biological therapy, such as cellular adoptive immunotherapy, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying how well cellular adoptive immunotherapy works in treating a patient who has undergone a donor stem cell transplant for breast cancer that has spread to the lung.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether 6 years adjuvant anastrozole will improve the disease free survival compared to 3 years adjuvant anastrozole in postmenopausal hormone sensitive breast cancer patients, subsequent to 2-3 years tamoxifen
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy in different ways may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying the side effects and best way to give radiation therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients with invasive breast cancer.
To provide an in vivo measure of the activity of lapatinib. To assess the antiproliferative effects of lapatinib in breast cancer, ie how much lapatinib slows down the growth of cancer cells by measuring K167 (a marker of proliferation) in breast tumours before and after a short treatment with lapatinib.
The primary purpose of this study is to examine the effect of a brief preoperative smoking intervention on postoperative complications in women undergoing breast cancer surgery. Secondary purposes are to examine long-term smoking cessation rates and experienced stress and nicotine withdrawal symptoms during the smoking cessation period.
This is a phase II study of the combination of oxaliplatin and trastuzumab as first or second line therapy in patients with stage IV, metastatic breast cancer
RATIONALE: Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and topical urea/lactic acid-based cream may prevent or lessen hand-foot syndrome caused by chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether giving pyridoxine with or without topical urea/lactic acid-based cream is more effective than topical urea/lactic acid-based cream alone or a placebo in preventing hand-foot syndrome. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying pyridoxine and topical urea/lactic acid-based cream to see how well they work compared with giving pyridoxine together with a placebo, giving topical urea/lactic acid-based cream together with a placebo, or giving two placebos in preventing hand-foot syndrome in patients who are receiving capecitabine for breast cancer or other cancer.
RATIONALE: Zoledronate may delay or prevent bone marrow metastases in patients with breast cancer. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well zoledronate works in treating bone marrow micrometastases in women with stage I, stage II, or stage III breast cancer.
The primary objective is, first, the comparison of tamoxifen and anastrozole and, second, the comparison of zoledronate added to standard adjuvant therapy with controls according to disease-free survival (DFS) in premenopausal patients with non-metastatic breast cancer treated with tamoxifen or anastrozole. To assess whether zoledronate added to standard adjuvant therapy can decrease or even prevent bone loss in patients treated with hormonal blockade combined with an antiestrogen or aromatase inhibitor.
The study assesses the effect of further 2 years vs further 5 years of adjuvant treatment with anastrozole after initial 5 years of adjuvant endocrine therapy.
