Filter by:This is a Phase II, open-label, non-randomized study in patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Each cycle of treatment will be 4 weeks in length. Patients will be radiologically evaluated every 8 weeks for response. Patients will continue to receive study treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Endurance exercise such as walking has been shown to help breast cancer survivors maintain their energy and quality of life while they are receiving chemotherapy, but there have not been any studies on weight training. In this study, the researchers want to determine if a combined program of endurance and weight training exercises is better than a standard amount of endurance exercise or even a higher amount of endurance exercise in breast cancer survivors receiving chemotherapy. The study will be an experimental design in which the researchers have breast cancer survivors participate in one of the three different exercise programs. The researchers' main interest is in patient rated physical functioning and quality of life, which they will measure before and after the exercise programs by asking participants how they feel on various rating scales. The researchers will also measure their aerobic fitness on a treadmill and how strong they are by having them lift weights.
Women with breast cancer and other gynecologic cancers often suffer significant distress and disability from their disease. A practice of meditation-based stress reduction and cognitive-affective-behavioral learning may help women with these conditions decrease their suffering and improve their quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to identify patients with persisting tumor cells after standard epirubicin-containing treatment to test a non-cross resistant chemotherapy regimen (docetaxel) for these patients, and to explore the analysis of disseminated tumor cells in bone marrow as a surrogate marker for clinical outcome.
Eligible patients will be post-menopausal hormone receptor- and lymph node-positive females who recently underwent primary surgery for breast cancer. Patients will be randomized to letrozole (2.5 mg per day for 5 years) vs anastrozole (1 mg per day for 5 years). Follow up will occur for 5 years after the completion of enrollment for survival and disease status updates.
- To investigate the safety of letrozole monotherapy at a dose 1.0 mg/day or fadrozole monotherapy at a dose 2.0mg in Japanese postmenopausal patients with advanced breast cancer which participated in double blind study.
This study is to measure the extent of tumor shrinkage when Letrozole and Zoledronic Acid are given before surgery to newly diagnosed post-menopausal women with early breast cancer
This is a multicentre, randomised (2:1), double blind, non-comparative phase II trial of ZD1839 and placebo in combination with chemotherapy in patients with metastatic breast cancer.
The purpose of the study is to develop and evaluate a decision aid to assist women aged 70 years and over to make an informed choice about whether to continue screening mammography.
The purpose of this study is to compare progression free survival for SU011248 [sutent (sunitinib malate)] versus standard of care therapy in patients with previously treated, advanced, triple receptor negative (ER, PR, HER2) locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
