Filter by:This randomized study compares the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of 3 proven methods of reaching out to women who are coming due for or who are overdue for a mammogram. The study originally embedded in a community healthcare plan and an associated community clinic, now accepts patients using the community clinic and 3 other health care plans. The study makes use of a complex computer driven reminder system. The study also will examine ways to improve the efficiency and sequencing of the interventions by identifying patient factors associated with intervention effectiveness.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Weight gain in adulthood, overweight or obesity, physical inactivity and alcohol consumption are risk factors commonly associated with risk of breast cancer (mainly for post-menopausal for overweight and obesity). Reduced physical activity is one factor likely to weight gain in women after adjuvant chemotherapy for localized breast cancer. Furthermore, physical activity appropriately could improve many prognostic factors and survival of women after breast cancer. Adapted Physical Activity (APA) could improve fitness, quality of life, body image, treatment compliance and reduce fatigue. After diagnosis of breast cancer, there is many possible risk factors of mortality or morbidity related to nutritional factors available to management. These risks prevention through management of these patients appears indispensable through an APA program. Thus, the investigators propose to test the feasibility of implementing a program of dietary intervention and APA to prevent the risk of weight gain (which affects more than half of patients) and maintain and/or increase their level of physical activity during and after adjuvant chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to compare intervention by Art-therapy to standard care in patients treated with adjuvant radiotherapy for breast cancer and evaluate the fatigue.
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of dose-dense doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by eribulin mesylate for adjuvant treatment of early stage breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended phase 2 dose and overall safety and tolerability of TRC105 when given in combination with capecitabine for the treatment of patients with progressive or recurrent metastatic breast cancer.
The general aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of afatinib alone and in combination with weekly vinorelbine (in patients who progress on afatinib monotherapy within this trial) as treatment in patients with HER2-overexpressing, locally advanced or metastatic inflammatory breast cancer. The study will include patients who have and have not failed prior trastuzumab treatment.
The drug being studied is Trastuzumab, a medicine that is used to slow or stop the growth of cancerous tumors that are HER-2 positive. Patients are being asked to participate in this study because they have been diagnosed with having tumor cells in their spinal fluid. This study will investigate the safety and effects of this drug when given directly into the spinal fluid. Phase I/II Dose Escalation Trial to Assess Safety of Intrathecal Trastuzumab for the Treatment of Leptomeningeal Metastases in HER2 Positive Breast Cancer The purpose of this research study is to determine a safe dose of the drug Trastuzumab and then determine how effective this treatment is.
This is a Phase 1b/2, multi-center, open-label, dose escalation (in 2 different dosing schedules [1 and 2]) and dose-confirmation study of eribulin administered in combination with capecitabine.
Women with metastatic breast cancer, receiving first line treatment of any kind (chemotherapy, endocrine treatment or treatment with antibodies) will be included in this trial. In connection to treatment, blood samples for determination and enumeration of circulating tumour cells will be collected at different time points. Serum and plasma will be collected and stored for future analysis of RNA and DNA.
Physical exercise has been identified as a major item of many chronic diseases and cancer rehabilitation. Therefore, physical activity for health is a valid and relevant way to improve quality of life and to manage cancer patient fatigue. The aim of the study is the assessment of the effects of a physical activity retraining program on aerobic capacity, strength and fatigue, in a breast cancer population treated by adjuvant chemotherapy.
