Filter by:In this observational pilot study urine samples will be collected from women receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy with doxorubicin for triple negative breast cancer to determine whether: 1) exposures bisphenol and phthalate levels change over the course of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and 2) levels differ between black women and those of other racial groups. The hypothesis is that bisphenol and phthalate levels will be similar to those of the general US female population at the time of diagnosis, however levels will increase during treatment due to exposure to plastics in the medical setting. The investigators also hypothesize that because of differences in personal care product use, black women may have higher urinary levels of bisphenols and phthalates prior to starting chemotherapy.
This is an open-label single photon emission tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) study to investigate the diagnostic performance and evaluation efficacy of 99mTc-HPArk2 in breast cancer patients. A single dose of 11.1Mega-Becquerel (MBq) per kilogram body weight 99mTc-HPArk2 will be injected intravenously. Visual and semiquantitative method will be used to assess the SPECT/CT images.
This trial studies how well a lifestyle intervention works in reducing breast cancer risk through changing body composition and decreasing inflammation in normal weight women. This trial may help researchers learn more about diet and exercise programs designed to decrease body fat in postmenopausal women who are of normal weight but have an elevated risk of breast cancer because of excess body fat.
This trial studies how well paclitaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab work in eliminating further chemotherapy after surgery in patients with HER2-positive stage II-IIIa breast cancer who have no cancer remaining at surgery (either in the breast or underarm lymph nodes) after pre-operative chemotherapy and HER2-targeted therapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Trastuzumab and pertuzumab are both a form of "targeted therapy" because they work by attaching themselves to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of tumor cells, known as HER2 receptors. When these drugs attach to HER2 receptors, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the tumor cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Giving paclitaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab may enable fewer chemotherapy drugs to be given without compromising patient outcomes compared to the usual treatment.
This is a community-based prospective study and the research object is breast cancer patients. It is planned to take the community as the unit to inform and collect the breast cancer patients who voluntarily participate to carry out the detection of BRCA1, BRCA2, PTEN, CHEK2 and PALB2 genes through the community health service center.
The hypothesis of this pilot trial is that administration of bortezomib will inhibit NHEJ in metastatic TNBC leading at the time of disease progression to metastases that are HR-deficient and sensitive to pembrolizumab and cisplatin therapy. The trial will include in depth analysis of the patients' TNBC genome and phosphoproteome to evaluate HR-proficiency and deficiency, and nuclear proteins that drive NHEJ, before and upon progression with bortezomib therapy.
This research study is being conducted to find out whether changes in household and personal behavior aimed at reducing exposure to environmental chemicals in dust (increased house dust removal efforts/cleaning and hand washing) and consumer products (increased us of personal care and beauty products that are free of chemicals including phthalates, parabens, and phenols) results in lower exposure to environmental chemicals including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and endocrine disrupting chemicals including phthalates, parabens and phenols. These chemicals may have harmful health effects, as they can interfere with normal functions of the body. This study will also assess changes in breast tissue composition to understand the role of environmental exposures in breast cancer risk.
This is a proof-of-concept study to define efficacy of vinorelbine, cisplatin, disulfiram and copper in CTC_EMT positive refractory metastatic hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer.
This study prospectively included 150 breast cancer patients (30 patients in the first stage and 120 patients in the second stage) who were treated with the commonly used neoadjuvant chemotherapy recommended by NCCN, received surgical treatment after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and evaluated the efficacy according to the surgical pathological response.Based on the technical analysis of Mammaprint in patients with pathologic complete response (pCR), partial response and no response, we analyzed the characteristic genes related to breast cancer in tumor tissues and evaluated the accuracy and sensitivity of Mammaprint test in the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.A new model for predicting NCT effect of breast cancer with combined risk genes and clinical parameters was established based on the clinical characteristic parameters of patients to study the accuracy and sensitivity of Mammaprint monitoring for prognosis determination of breast cancer patients.
This phase III trial aims to compare the efficacy and safety of fulvestrant or capecitabine as maintenance therapy after first-line chemotherapy in hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 negative metastatic breast cancer.
