Filter by:RATIONALE: Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using tamoxifen or letrozole may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells or by lowering the amount of estrogen the body makes. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well tamoxifen or letrozole work in treating women with ductal carcinoma in situ.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposomal doxorubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy in different ways, such as into the breast ducts, may kill more tumor cells. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of liposomal doxorubicin when given before mastectomy in treating women with invasive breast cancer.
INCAM-study is a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial. The aim of the study is to test the effectiveness of psychoeducative intervention when offered in hospital setting as a component of routine breast cancer care. The hypotheses are; - that breast cancer patients participating in psychoeducative interventions focusing on coping will experience better health-related quality of life than those who participate in the hospital standardised psychoeducative intervention. - that coping styles are associated with the immune system.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the study drug is effective and safe in the treatment of patients with metastatic breast cancer
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as epirubicin, cyclophosphamide, docetaxel, and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some find tumor cells and kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving combination chemotherapy together with monoclonal antibodies before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving monoclonal antibodies after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known whether combination chemotherapy is more effective with or without capecitabine and/or trastuzumab in treating breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying epirubicin, cyclophosphamide, and docetaxel to compare how well they work with or without capecitabine and/or trastuzumab before surgery in treating women with stage I, stage II, or stage III breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and tolerability of 3 years treatment with anastrozole after a prior 2 years' treatment with tamoxifen versus 5 years treatment with tamoxifen in postmenopausal women with early breast cancer
The purpose of this study is to compare mammography adherence among women receiving tailored, interactive mammography interventions via DVD and telephone counseling to usual care.
This is an open -label randomized phase II study of dose-dense Fluorouracil/Epirubicin/Cyclophosphamide (FEC) administered with Epirubicin of 75mg/m2 (FEC75) and Epirubicin 90mg/m2 (FEC90) in untreated patients with early breast cancer.
A maximum of 60 subjects will be enrolled in the trial. It is a non-randomized, open label, single center study. All subjects undergo INGN 201 injection and IV chemotherapy: doxorubicin and docetaxel. This is done on the first 2 days of a 3-week cycle. After completion of 4 to 6 cycles, the subject either proceeds to surgery if the tumors respond to therapy, or goes off study if there is no tumor response.
The purpose of this study was to assess the difference in disease-free survival between post-menopausal women with hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer who switched from tamoxifen to anastrozole and those who continued on tamoxifen.
