Filter by:This is a translational, mutlicentre study. The aim of this study is to determine whether pre-treatment levels of hormones predict ovarian follicular reserve post adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer and chemotherapy induced amenorrhea.
This study is being done to examine the safety and feasibility of a supervised progressive exercise program in women diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. Previous research among women with metastatic breast cancer has shown that some of the treatments commonly used in this population may have an adverse impact on physical fitness levels leading to feelings of fatigue and poor quality of life. Supervised exercise training has been shown to reduce some of these side-effects in women with early-stage breast cancer receiving common cancer treatments. However, it is not known if supervised exercise training is a safe and feasible intervention in women with metastatic breast cancer. This study is designed to find out if supervised exercise training is safe as the patients undergo treatments for metastatic breast cancer.
This observational study will evaluate the routine clinical use and the safety and efficacy of Xeloda (capecitabine) in patients with metastatic or advanced breast cancer. Eligible patients will be followed for up to 24 months.
Sorafenib is a new type of anti-cancer drug. It belongs to a new class of medications known as tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Sorafenib is thought to work against cancer in many ways. It helps decrease blood supply to the tumor. It also blocks some proteins that help the tumor cells to grow." Sorafenib is approved by the Food and Drug administration (FDA) for treatment for other cancers like liver and kidney cancer. Sorafenib has also been studied in the treatment of breast cancer that has spread but is not specifically approved for the treatment of breast cancer. It has been studied both as a single agent and also in combination with other anti-cancer therapies for breast cancer. In laboratory models and in some patients with other cancers, sorafenib has been studied in tumors in the brain. In this study, sorafenib will be given together with whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT). Overall this research study is designed to answer 2 main questions: 1. What dose of sorafenib should be used together with WBRT? 2. What are the side effects of sorafenib and WBRT when given together?
There does not appear to be a consensus regarding the treatment of vaginal dryness in women who have a contraindication to the use of estrogen products. DHEA, when used locally, may improve the symptoms of vaginal dryness due to its chemical properties.
This randomized clinical trial studies educational counseling in improving communication and quality of life in spouses and breast cancer patients. An outpatient education and behavior skills training program may help spouses and patients with breast cancer communicate better and improve quality of life. It is not yet known whether educational counseling is more effective than an educational booklet in improving communication and quality of life.
A Phase II study to investigate the potential utility of PD 0332991 in the treatment of early stage ER+ Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)- breast cancer, to investigate whether the combination of PD 0332991 and anastrozole is able to: 1) improve the pathologic complete response rate when compared to the historical control of single agent aromatase inhibitors, 2) result in fewer patients with on therapy Ki67>10% compared to historical control.
The aim of this study is the improvement of the vaginal flora by at least two grades of the Nugent scale after application of oral probiotics.
The purpose of this research is to evaluate whether repeating a screening Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) study two years after an initial screening MBI study further improves breast cancer detection in women with dense breast tissue.
To explore molecular biomarkers and/or gene expression signatures that predict response to bevacizumab given in combination with paclitaxel as first line therapy in HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC).
