Filter by:The investigators will conduct a 2x2 factorial randomized controlled trial to test the separate and synergistic effects of an in-person hands-on dietary and physical activity change curriculum (i.e., Mi Vida Saludable program) and e-communication strategies (text messaging, emailed newsletters and an interactive website) on changing dietary and physical activity behaviors among a diverse population of Latina breast cancer survivors who have completed breast cancer treatment. Participants will be evenly randomized to 4 arms: in-person education alone, e-communication alone, in-person education plus e-communication, or control.
Double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter pilot study on efficacy and safety of CBLB612 following single administration for neutropenia prophylaxis in breast cancer patients receiving doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide myelosuppressive chemotherapy
This is a pilot phase 1b study to investigate the safety and side effects of combining the ROR1-targeting monoclonal antibody, cirmtuzumab, with paclitaxel for patients with HER2 negative, metastatic breast cancer. Cirmtuzumab is a type of drug called a monoclonal antibody. This drug is designed to attach to a protein called receptor-tyrosine-kinase like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1) on the surface of breast cancer cells. Cirmtuzumab blocks the growth and survival of the breast cancer cells in laboratory tests. ROR1 is rarely expressed on healthy cells. Cirmtuzumab is considered experimental and is not approved by United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
- This is a prospective, single-center, non-randomized, non-controlled study. - The estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR), HER2 status and Ki67 index of CNB specimen are critical biomarkers for making neoadjuvant therapy strategy in invasive breast cancer. The concordance of these biomarkers between CNB and surgical specimen was varied in previous retrospective reports. The aim of this study is to determine the discordance of these biomarkers between CNB and surgical specimen and the influence of making treatment strategy by the discordance.
The trial population of this study is composed of women aged more than 18, who have developed a newly node-negative (or pN1mi), Estrogen Receptor (ER)-positive, Her2-negative invasive breast cancer with uncertainty on the indication of adjuvant chemotherapy using standard assessments. Obtaining material for test is at no risk as done from the surgery material. Tumor molecular EndoPredict (EP)clin analysis will allow to obtain information on the expression of 8 breast cancer related genes and will provide important prognosis indications. Clinical validation studies have demonstrated that molecular assays are useful for stratifying patients into risk categories and helpful in making clinical treatment decisions in ER+/node-negative breast cancer patients.
Many women with breast cancer now live for decades after their breast cancer treatment. In view of this, modern breast reconstruction surgery after mastectomy for breast cancer aims to reproduce as natural a breast shape as possible. Keeping a natural breast appearance has been shown to be very important to a woman's emotional and psychological recovery. Breast cancer treatment often includes a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, anticancer tablets such as Tamoxifen, and newer targeted drugs such as Herceptin. Radiotherapy is usually given after surgery. However, radiotherapy after mastectomy and breast reconstruction can damage the 'new' breast giving a less good breast shape and appearance in the longer term. Also, if recovery is slow following surgery, the radiotherapy is delayed which may reduce its effectiveness. Changing the order of treatments has been shown to be safe and effective for chemotherapy, Herceptin and anticancer tablets but we have very little information on giving radiotherapy before breast cancer surgery. The investigators want to find out if giving radiotherapy before mastectomy and reconstruction alters surgical complication rates and they want to evaluate the appearance of the reconstructed breast when radiotherapy is given before surgery.
This study aims to compare the resource impact, acute toxicity and feasibility of different pan-lymph node radiotherapy techniques. Radiotherapy using wide tangents with the patient in breath hold will be compared against volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in free breathing in the main trial. A parallel study will asses the accuracy of VMAT treatments using voluntary deep inspiratory breath hold compared to an active breathing controlled breath hold device.
The purpose is to examine the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of the role of a personal trainer for non-metastatic breast cancer survivors to improve physical activity and well-being (in terms of quality of life).
The hypothesis of this study is that positron emission mammography will provide comparable sensitivity to contrast-enhanced breast MRI in women with a high suspicion of breast cancer. The aim of this study is to determine the sensitivity of Positron Emission Mammography (PEM) relative to that of Contrast-enhanced breast MRI (CE-MRI) in women with a high suspicion of breast cancer
The objective of the TOGETHER (Together Overcome and Get Empowered Through Health Education and Relationships) program was to examine the effectiveness of one of the first linguistically and culturally tailored intervention programs to increase quality of life among Korean American breast cancer survivors.
