Filter by:RATIONALE: Stereotactic radiation therapy can send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known whether stereotactic radiation therapy is more effective with or without whole-brain radiation therapy in treating patients with brain metastases. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying stereotactic radiation therapy and whole-brain radiation therapy to see how well they work compared with stereotactic radiation therapy alone in treating patients with brain metastases.
RATIONALE: Studying the barriers that prevent minority and low-income women from undergoing cancer screening, and offering encouragement to them over the telephone, may help improve cancer screening rates. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well a telephone-based Prevention Care Manager increases screening rates for breast cancer, cervical cancer, and colorectal cancer in minority and low-income women.
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy before a donor natural killer (NK) cell infusion helps stop the growth of tumor cells. It also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's cells. Giving NK cells from a related donor may kill the tumor cells. PURPOSE: This study furthers the research of previous studies (MT2003-01 and MT2004-25) which were to determine a specific preparatory regimen (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine) could create an environment in which infused NK cells can grow and effectively treat patients with relapsed AML. This study will test the previous regimen in patients with breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether zoledronic acid given intravenously every 6 months can prevent reduction in bone mineral density in women with early stage breast cancer receiving adjuvant therapy with the aromatase inhibitor drug letrozole, after having received adjuvant tamoxifen.
This phase II trial studies how well temsirolimus works in treating patients with breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This randomized phase III trial studies how well education with or without physical therapy intervention works in preventing lymphedema in women with stage I, II, or III breast cancer who are undergoing axillary lymph node dissection (surgery to remove lymph nodes found in the armpit region). Lymphedema is a condition in which extra lymph fluid builds up in tissues and causes swelling in an arm or leg if lymph vessels are blocked, damaged, or removed by surgery. A personalized physical therapy intervention and education materials may be better than education materials alone in preventing lymphedema in women with breast cancer who are undergoing axillary lymph node dissection.
This study will evaluate the safety/efficacy of zoledronic acid when given by intravenous infusion every 4 weeks in addition to letrozole as endocrine therapy in postmenopausal patients with hormone responsive breast cancer
The objective of this study is to assess the clinical benefit of two different dosing schedules of zoledronic acid in patients with metastatic bone lesions from breast cancer who have already been treated with zoledronic acid for about one year.
This study was designed to evaluate and compare the safety and efficacy of an oral dual tyrosine kinase inhibitor, lapatinib, versus placebo in women with early-stage ErbB2-overexpressing breast cancer who have completed their primary neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy and have no clinical or radiographic evidence of disease.
To compare treatment with SU011248 plus paclitaxel versus bevacizumab plus paclitaxel to determine which treatment works better against breast cancer
