Filter by:The purpose of this study is to test whether a new program Nuevo Amanecer (A New Dawn), improves the quality of life of Latinas diagnosed with breast cancer. Trained Latina counselors who have had breast cancer provide support to recently diagnosed women. The investigators call these counselors peer support counselors.
Cognitive impairments in cancer patients represent an important clinical problem. Studies to date estimating prevalence of difficulties in memory, executive function, and attention deficits have been limited by small sample sizes and many have lacked healthy control groups. More information is needed on promising biomarkers and allelic variants that may help to determine the etiology of impairment, identify those most vulnerable to impairment, and develop interventions for these difficulties. This is a longitudinal observational study of cognitive function in breast cancer and lymphoma patients receiving chemotherapy to better understand the prevalence of cognitive difficulties (i.e., problems with memory, executive function, and attention) in these populations.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of oral abiraterone acetate plus oral prednisone and oral abiraterone acetate plus oral prednisone plus oral exemestane, each compared with oral exemestane alone, in postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) metastatic (spreading) breast cancer that has relapsed after treatment with letrozole or anastrozole.
The research team is studying why some African American families have multiple cases of breast cancer. This study will help to better understand if there are undiscovered genes unique to African Americans that may predict early breast cancer risk. Breast cancer survivors AND their relatives who are also breast cancer survivors are being recruited to the study.
A randomised double-blinded study, in which the patients either get methylprednisoloneacetate or saline solution in the mastectomy cavity to evaluate the efficacy of methylprednisoloneacetate in preventing seroma in patients operated for primary breast cancer.
The progression free survival could be prolonged adding pseudomonas aeruginosa to monotherapy capecitabine.
The purpose of this study is to look for ways to improve breast cancer treatment by giving breast cancer drugs through the skin of the breast. The drug used in this study is a diclofenac epolamine patch and is a nonsteroid anti-inflammatory pain reliever. The drug amount that gathers in the breast, after application of a patch to the skin of the breast, will be measured and compared to the amount that is found in the breast when the patch is applied to the skin of the belly.
The purpose of this trial is to compare the 3 years DFS of dose-dense epirubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel with paclitaxel plus carboplatin as adjuvant therapy for triple-negative breast cancer. The other purpose of this trial is to observe the patient's tolerance.
This is a Prospective Clinical Trial without drugs, to determine the HER2 status in the metastasis of patients with primary breast cancer HER2. 32 Sites have been taking part in this Clinical Trial.
The dose of fulvestrant to optimally downregulate estrogen receptors (ER) is currently subject of debate. Effects of fulvestrant on the ERs may be evaluable by molecular imaging using positron emission tomography with the ER-specific FES tracer. In this pilot study we will evaluate the effects of the new dose of fulvestrant (500mg i.m.)on the availability of ER binding sites in 15 metastatic breast cancer patients.
