Filter by:RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Treating a patient's T cells in the laboratory may help the T cells kill more tumor cells when they are put back in the body. Giving laboratory-treated T cells after chemotherapy may be an effective treatment for breast cancer. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving laboratory-treated T cells after second-line chemotherapy works in treating patients with HER2/neu-negative metastatic breast cancer.
Herceptin has shown significant improvement in breast cancer therapy and improved survival of patients over-expressing the HER-2 protein by 50%. However, Herceptin has shown to negatively affect the heart, and frequent heart monitoring with multiple gated acquisition (MUGA) scans is required. MUGA scans use radiation and are not very accurate. This study will use cardiac magnetic resonance images (CMRs) to evaluate heart function and compare to MUGA scans in patients receiving Herceptin for early-stage breast cancer. In addition, novel biomarkers will also be assessed at the same time to help identify possible patients at risk for developing heart toxicities.
The purpose of this phase Ⅲ, multi-center, prospective, open-label, randomized,controlled study is to determine whether alternative non-cross-resistant adjuvant chemotherapy can increase distant disease free survival(DDFS) in operable patients non-response to primary chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine the response rates for Ixabepilone (BMS-247550) in subjects with metastatic breast cancer previously treated with an anthracycline and who are taxane resistant.
RATIONALE: The Flexitouch lymphedema system may lessen lymphedema caused by treatment for breast cancer. It is not yet known whether the Flexitouch lymphedema system is more effective than complex decongestive therapy in treating lymphedema. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying the Flexitouch lymphedema system in treating stage II lymphedema in patients with breast cancer.
This study will investigate the sensitivity and specificity of FLT-PET/CT in primary breast cancer detection and in the use of FLT-PET in monitoring how well a breast tumor respond to treatment. We will compare this technique with other imaging modalities as well as with tissue collection (during a biopsy). We will recruit women with a newly diagnosed invasive breast cancer, who are able to tolerate undergoing a PET/CT (possibly two scans) scan,
RATIONALE: New imaging procedures, such as single photon emission computed tomography, may help in learning how acupuncture affects serotonin levels in the brain of breast cancer survivors. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the best way to visualize the effect of acupuncture on brain serotonin in breast cancer survivors.
The purpose of this multi-center clinical study is to compile post market performance and safety data on the Axxent System.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether HF10 is safe and effective in the treatment of head and neck cancer or solid tumors with cutaneous and/or superficial lesions.
This research trial studies deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in blood samples from Caucasian and African-American cancer patients who received docetaxel on clinical trial CLB-9871. Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors learn more about how docetaxel is used by the body.
