Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of patients' response expectations for nocebo side effects, quality of life and adherence during adjuvant endocrine treatment (AET). Furthermore, this study analyses the effects of a structured treatment information on patients' satisfaction with information, response expectations, knowledge and adherence.
The purpose of this trial is to explore the clinical utility of the three investigational agents in HR+, HER2- breast cancer. LEE011 (CDK4/6 inhibitor), BKM120 (PI3K-pan class I-inhibitor) and BYL719 (PI3K-alpha specific class I inhibitor) in combination with fulvestrant. This is a multi-center, open-label Phase Ib/II study. The Phase Ib portion of the study is a dose escalation to estimate the MTD and/or RP2D for three regimens: LEE011 with fulvestrant; LEE011 and BKM120 with fulvestrant; LEE011and BYL719 with fulvestrant. The Phase II portion of the study was planned to be a randomized study to assess the anti-tumor activity as well as safety and tolerability of LEE011 with fulvestrant to LEE011 and BKM120 with fulvestrant, and LEE011 and BYL719 with fulvestrant in patients with ER+/HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Approximately 216 adult women with ER+/HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer were planned to be enrolled.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a radiation treatment called "Multi-beam Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy"(IMRT) can reduce side effects related to your implant if they are a candidate for radiation therapy. Currently, the standard method of giving radiation is with "3D radiation", which only uses 2-5 beams of radiation. "Multi-beam" IMRT works by using 8-12 small radiation beams to give a more "tailored" or "customized" radiation dose to the implant, breast, chest wall and lymph nodes. At the same time, multi-beam IMRT may lower the radiation dose to the heart, lung and nearby tissues. The goal of the study is to reduce complications after irradiation to the implants. The study doctors have recently completed a trial using this technique and are now specifically looking at its impact on women with implant reconstructions who are undergoing post-mastectomy radiation therapy. By delivering a more "customized" dose of radiation to the implant, the intent is to reduce side effects of radiation on the implant.
The purpose of this study is to compare the sentinel lymph node (SLN) detection rate of early breast cancer patients between using Indocyanine green (ICG) and Methylene blue with a novel surgical navigation system.
This study looks at the benefit of adding acupuncture to nutrition education for weight loss in women with early stage breast cancer post-chemotherapy.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effects of the chemotherapeutic drug, Trastuzumab (Herceptin) on the heart. Trastuzumab (Herceptin) is used to treat specific types of breast cancer and is known to cause weakening of the heart. Unfortunately, little is know as to why this this happens. The investigators want to identify any factors that may lead to the early detection, treatment and prevention of the cardiotoxicity (heart problem) associated with this drug.
This randomized clinical trial studies an integrative oncology (making changes in lifestyle and behavior) program in improving cancer-related outcomes in patients with stage II or III breast cancer undergoing radiation therapy. An integrative oncology program consisting of dietary recommendations, physical activity, stress management, social support, and control of environmental contaminants may modify cancer-related biological processes, influence long-term treatment results, and improve the quality of life of patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a new technique of radiotherapy for breast cancer (helical tomotherapy) can induce cardiac toxicity that would be detected in the first two years after treatment. Screening of subclinical cardiac lesions with non-invasive cardiac imaging techniques combined with measures of circulating biomarkers of cardiac tissue lesions and coronary lesions would allow assessing radiation-induced cardiac toxicity at an early stage.
The major purpose of this study is to evaluate a laboratory developed test that measures multiple breast cancer-specific biomarker proteins and multiple antibodies in your blood samples. The biomarker and antibody results along with your personal medical profile will be evaluated to determine your risk for the presence of a malignancy in the breast as compared to your breast evaluation assessment conducted by your physician.
The purpose of the study is to examine cognitive and brain function in stage I-III breast cancer patients who have undergone adjuvant systemic therapy (chemotherapy or chemotherapy plus anti-hormonal therapy) in comparison to a group of healthy controls. Our hypothesis is that systemic adjuvant therapy in the form of chemotherapy or chemotherapy and anti-hormonal therapy given to primary breast cancer patients can cause cognitive impairment. We hypothesize that the use of simultaneous PET/MRI will allow us to determine key regions in the brain that show metabolic, structural, and functional deficits in a semi-quantitative manner and reveal subtle changes that are often missed during neuropsychological tests due to the low sensitivity of neuropsychological batteries.
