Filter by:Primary: In women with heterogeneous or dense breast tissue (mammographic types 3 and 4), MBI (Molecular Breast Imaging) will detect more breast cancers and have greater sensitivity in detecting breast cancer than breast tomosynthesis. Secondary: 1. In women with heterogeneous or dense breast tissue, the specificity of MBI in correctly classifying subjects without breast cancer will be non-inferior to breast tomosynthesis. 2. In women with heterogeneous or dense breast tissue, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for MBI will be non-inferior or superior to breast tomosynthesis. 3. Combining the use of MBI and breast tomosynthesis will provide performance superior to either technology alone, as manifest by a superior ROC curve area.
This pilot trial studies propranolol hydrochloride in treating patients with locally recurrent or metastatic solid tumors that cannot be removed by surgery. Propranolol hydrochloride may slow the growth of tumor cells by blocking the use of hormones by the tumor cells.
A Multi-center, III Phase,Randomized Controlled Clinical Study of Capecitabine Metronomic Chemotherapy After Standard Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Operable Triple Negative Breast Cancer
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if the clinical effects of combined Chinese herbal medicine with endocrine therapy is better than endocrine therapy alone in improving the quality of life and shrinking and slowing the growth of the cancer in women with breast cancer bone metastasis.
The purpose of this study is to explore the possible association between the circadian disruption and cancer progression.
Some tumors use estrogen in the body to assist with growth. Letrozole is a drug that is prevents cells from producing estrogens. This should assist with the slowing of growth of tumor cells. Letrozole also promotes cell destruction by inhibiting a cellular destruction pathway. The objectives of this study will look at the differences between the cellular destruction pathway before and after letrozole use, and the differences in the cellular destruction pathway in participants that have received letrozole versus those who did not. The study will also look at a gene in all participants called Ki67. This gene is associated with the rate of tumor cell growth. The study will measure the levels of Ki67 and compare them to the amount of activation of the cellular destruction pathway. Participants in this study will have undergone a diagnostic biopsy of their breast tissue. In order to meet these objectives, one group of participants (Arm A) will not receive letrozole. Tissue leftover from their diagnostic biopsy will be treated with everolimus (RAD001) in the laboratory and the effects of this drug on the cellular destruction pathway will be studied. The other group of participants (Arm B) will take letrozole for a minimum of 10 and maximum of 21 days. They will have a second tumor sample taken as part of their surgical procedure completed to remove the tumor tissue. Any differences in the cellular destruction pathway before and after exposure to letrozole will be measured.
¡Fortaleza Latina! is a multi-level randomized trial to increase participation in mammography screening among Latinas who seek care at a community health center in Western Washington. In partnership with the partnering community health center, we have obtained lists of women patients aged 42 to 74 years old who had not had a mammogram in the last two years and resided within defined radii of the four clinics. Baseline and one year follow-up surveys will be obtained by in person home interview. Participants are randomized within clinic to intervention or comparison group. The intervention consist of two motivational interviewing sessions, one in person in the home, and one telephone follow-up. The study hypothesis is that a higher proportion of participants in the motivational interviewing arm will obtain a screening mammogram within the study period than those in the comparison arm.
Three-dimensional functional Metabolic Imaging (3D MIRA) is a new infrared imaging technology using the Real Imager 4(RI4) developed by Real Imaging. This technology generates 3D metabolic maps and based on sophisticated machine learning technology, provides objective risk assessment for the presence of malignant tumor. The procedure is non-invasive, comfortable and does not involve ionizing radiation. Moreover, Real Imaging's 3D Functional MIRA is unaffected by breast density and is therefore ideal for evaluating patients with mammographically dense breasts. The purpose of this clinical study is to assess the ability of this novel technology to detect clinically occult breast cancer in a cohort of women that are at high risk for breast cancer. We hypothesize that the combination of screening mammography and metabolic screening (3D MIRA) will result in significantly higher breast cancer detection rates.
Genes are the basic "instruction book" for the cells that make up our bodies and are made out of DNA. Many research studies are done to find the best possible way to treat patients with cancer. Recently there has been a great deal of interest in developing new anticancer agents that are more targeted to a patient's individual genetic information, as well as diseases caused by defects in a person's genes. Identification of precisely which treatments to use against a specific patient's tumor is challenging. In this study, four cutting-edge technologies will be used to identify genomic (information we get from DNA and RNA) and proteomic (information we get from proteins) targets for the treatment of your tumor. These four tests will be used together to gather information about your tumor giving doctors and scientists a better understanding of the structure of your tumor and what the best treatment or combination of treatments may be for you. The therapy you receive to treat your tumor will be based on your medical history, previous treatments for your disease if applicable, current state of health, and the findings from these four tests. The therapy you ultimately receive will be selected by your doctor in consultation with a panel of experts in cancer and cancer genomics (the Treatment Selection Committee).
This is a Phase II study trying to identify whether short term treatment with PD0332991 yields anti-proliferative response -defined by a low level of Ki67 expression (IHC) at surgery- or induces senescence as determined by SABG expression (IHC) in tumors from patients with early breast cancer non-candidates for neoadjuvant hormonotherapy or chemotherapy, as compared to no treatment.
