Filter by:This is a retrospective, and observational cohort study to determine the proportion of breast cancer first relapses, that are biopsied. The duration of the study will be approximately 24 months.
This phase II clinical trial studies how well fulvestrant and palbociclib works in treating older patients with breast cancer that responds to hormone treatment (hormone responsive) that cannot be removed by surgery. Estrogen can cause the growth of estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using fulvestrant may fight estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Palbociclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving fulvestrant together with palbociclib may be an effective treatment for hormone responsive breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine if an avatar-based depression self-management intervention (eSMART-MH) once a week for the duration of the participant's radiation treatment will significantly reduce depressive symptoms. Investigators also seek to explore how women with breast cancer describe their mood using prompted and unprompted speech through electronic social media and interviews. Participants will be randomized into the eSMART-MH group or the theater testing (attention control) group. In addition to the assigned interventions, participants will be asked to complete questionnaires and interviews with the study staff.
This is a monocentric, non-inferiority, randomized cohort study with an open 1:1 ratio comparing the impact of iodine seed tumor localization (arm B) vs. standard localization using a metal guide (arm A) on the quality of the surgical resection margins in parallel groups with an interim analysis in patients with breast cancer. Randomization will be performed using histologic status stratification: in situ ductal /invasive lobular +/- an in situ component / invasive ductal +/- an in situ component.
This is a study aimed at testing a commonly available and inexpensive chemical (hydrogen peroxide) for safety and activity in sensitising large cancerous lumps in the breast to a standard course of radiotherapy in women with poorly controlled symptoms. Laboratory research and initial clinical trials in Japan suggest that 4 to 6 injections of a radiation sensitiser ('KORTUC') based on very dilute (0.5%) hydrogen peroxide injected into cancers under local anaesthetic twice a week during radiotherapy greatly increases the effectiveness of standard doses of radiotherapy alone. The side effects are limited to mild/moderate discomfort at the injection site for up to 24 hours reported by Japanese breast cancer patients in whom this treatment has been tested. Complete tumour shrinkage in 70/71 (98%) primary breast cancers up to 5 cm diameter have been reported by Japanese collaborators.
The primary purpose of this study is to compare the progression free survival (PFS) of participants treated with the combination of fulvestrant plus daily sapanisertib and fulvestrant plus weekly sapanisertib versus participants treated with single-agent fulvestrant.
Post meno-pausal women with T1 Breast cancers will be randomized to receive either 600 centiGray (cGy) X 5 over five consecutive days (arm 1) versus 800 cGy X 3 fractions given every other day (arm 2). Patients will complete treatment in one week. All patients will be followed a month after the completion of treatment then q6 months for the first year, then yearly for the next 10 years.
The main purpose of this study is to see if Pembrolizumab in combination with chemotherapy (carboplatin and gemcitabine) is safe and effective in treating patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer. Pembrolizumab is a drug which may help the immune system to target and destroy cancer cells. Pembrolizumab has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of advanced melanoma and metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. However, it has not been approved as a treatment for breast cancer.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well electroacupuncture therapy works in reducing chronic pain in patients following surgery for stage I-III breast cancer. Electroacupuncture therapy is a type of complementary integrative medicine in which pulses of weak electrical current are sent through very thin, solid, sterile, stainless steel needles into certain points in the skin. Electroacupuncture therapy may help to lower pain and other surgery-related symptoms.
Breast cancer treatment often results in long-term arm morbidity. A prospective surveillance model with arm assessment pre-surgery followed by ongoing surveillance and targeted physiotherapy treatment after breast cancer surgery may improve early detection and management of arm morbidity. This study aims to determine the effect of prospective surveillance to target physiotherapy on the prevalence of arm morbidity in the surveillance group compared to control group at 12-months after breast cancer surgery.
