Filter by:The purpose of this study is to provide educational material to promote screening for second primary cancer for the intervention group, or educational material to instruct appropriate use of dietary supplement for the control group.
The primary objectives of this study are to determine if the use of Guided Relaxation Training (GRT) during cancer treatment in individuals with newly diagnosed breast cancer increases their ability to cope as measured by the Coping Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES) and reduces their perceived stress as measured by the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS).
The purpose of this study is to study patients presenting with stage IV breast cancer. Stage IV means that the breast cancer has spread to another part of the body outside the breast. This study is important because in different parts of the country some patients are being offered surgical treatment for the breast tumor and some are not. The doctors do not know if surgery for the breast tumor is helpful in patients with stage IV breast cancer. The doctors will collect information about the patient and their treatment to learn more about how patients and doctors make treatment decisions. The doctor will also collect blood samples and tissue samples for laboratory studies to learn more about tumors that have spread to other parts of the body.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find out if adding local therapy (surgery and/or radiation) to standard therapy (chemotherapy or endocrine therapy) in the treatment of patients with metastatic breast cancer can help to control the disease for a longer period of time than standard therapy alone.
To compare the overall QoL (Quality of Life) using Trial Outcome index (TOI) of FACT-B questionnaire for 3 years from baseline.
Method: This multicentric prospective cohort is composed of patients with no metastatic breast cancer selected by tumor's genomic analysis and treated by chemotherapy with Anthracycline without Taxanes (6 cycles of FEC 100). The patient can be included before or after the surgery and a written consent must be signed for the proteomic and genomic analysis of the tumor. Patients who have a "good signature" for the genomic analysis will receive the standard chemotherapy. Primary objective: - To compare metastasis free survival at 5 years in a cohort of patients with no metastatic breast cancer, who are selected by their genomic profile of the tumor and received a standard chemotherapy containing Anthracycline, with result of retrospectives studies. Secondary Objectives: - Overall survival. - Creation of a circuit (transport-extraction-genomic analysis-result) which allows the beginning of the chemotherapy within 6 weeks following the primary surgery. - Histological and seric proteomic exploratory studies.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy in different ways may kill more tumor cells. Giving it after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of radiation therapy and to see how well it works in treating women with early stage breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the difference in late radiation morbidity between hypofractionated and standard fractionated breast irradiation given to women operated with breast conservation for early breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known whether whole-breast radiation therapy is more effective when given with or without additional radiation therapy to the tumor in treating patients with ductal carcinoma in situ. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying breast-conserving surgery followed by whole-breast radiation therapy to see how well it works when given with or without additional radiation therapy to the tumor in treating women with ductal carcinoma in situ.
This study is being done to find out what factors may be related to the risk of getting a second breast cancer among women who already have breast cancer in one breast. It will look at how genes, treatment for breast cancer; including radiation therapy, and the effects of different lifestyle activities, may affect the risk of breast cancer. It will use different processes to find genes that might increase the risk of breast cancer. The results of this study may help to develop better ways to detect, treat and prevent breast cancer. This study will compare women who have breast cancer in both breasts to women who have breast cancer in only one breast.
