Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of a socio-aesthetic intervention on body image and quality of life in post-surgical patients with mastectomy or tumorectomy for breast cancer.Two groups of randomized subjects were constituted. Patients of the experimental group received 2 or 3 aesthetic care during the first post-surgical week, whereas those of the control group not. Body image, quality of life and diverse other personality variables were assessed at three different times: surgical operation day before, exit day before of hospitalization and three months afterwards. Our general hypothesis is that subjects who receive aesthetic care report levels significantly higher of corporal satisfaction and of quality of life at the end of the hospitalization and three months later than patients of the control group.
The purpose of this study is to find out if the combination of docetaxel and capecitabine can shrink the size of breast tumors and preserve the breast.
The primary goal of this study is to compare, within a clinical screening setting, the performance of stereoscopic digital mammography with standard (non-stereo) digital mammography in the detection of abnormalities in the breast, including early breast cancer.
This trial will compare grade 2 or greater late skin toxicities of concomitant letrozole-radiotherapy and radiotherapy followed by letrozole as adjuvant therapy for postmenopausal women with receptor (estrogen receptor [ER] and/or progesterone receptor [PgR]) positive tumors. Each drug will be prescribed for 5 years.
The purpose of this study is to learn if the biomarker information obtained (learned or received) from the earlier studies can tell us whether or not Taxotere and/or Adriamycin/Cytoxan can cause tumors to become smaller.
The purposes of this study are to better understand how Taxotere causes tumors to become smaller and to find out how effective Taxotere is in treating the type of breast cancer that you have.
We are asking you to take part in a research study of biomarkers (characteristics or traits of the genes inside cancer cells). We want to learn if these biomarkers could help us learn how well your breast cancer may respond (improve) to chemotherapy (drugs to treat cancer).
We want to learn whether GW572016 is effective in breast cancers that have HER2.
Hypotheses: 1. Subjective self-reported data can be used to accurately reflect functioning across the 5 key domains. 2. Cancer and its various treatment modalities will exert detrimental effects on the 5 key domains in older adults with cancer. 3. Some aspect of baseline patient characteristic will be predictive of cancer-related outcomes.
Soy consumption has been associated with reduced risk for developing breast cancer. Soy contains isoflavones which are weak estrogens. The roles of soy isoflavones in reducing breast cancer risk are currently unclear. Breast density has been considered as a breast cancer risk marker. We hypothesize that because isoflavones have estrogen-like activities, breast density and possibly bone density will be lower in women on soy-isoflavones.
