Filter by:Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) is a type of accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) in which radiation therapy is delivered to the breast tissue in a single treatment at the time of lumpectomy for breast cancer. The Xoft device (Axxent, Xoft, San Jose, CA) is a device that allows for IORT for breast cancer using kilovoltage (kV) photons. A central goal of this study is to report acute and late toxicities and cosmetic outcomes following breast IORT with the Xoft device in women with early-stage breast cancer treated with lumpectomy. The investigators hypothesize that IORT following lumpectomy will be safe and well tolerated with a lower rate of physician reported acute side effects than traditional whole breast radiation therapy after lumpectomy.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of a dedicated Magnetic Resonance guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (MR-HIFU) unit in ablating breast cancer by comparing MR imaging and pathologic specimen after resection. Single-center, single-arm, non-randomized trial
This pilot clinical trial studies interactive gentle yoga in improving quality of life in patients with stage I-III breast cancer undergoing radiation therapy. Interactive gentle yoga may improve the quality of life in patients with breast cancer undergoing radiation therapy.
The Neo-PREDICT-HER2 Study is phase II trial to validate predictive markers for the response evaluation of a combined chemo-immunotherapy in patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer. The only treatment arm consists of Paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 weekly for 12 weeks with lapatinib 750 mg P.O. daily and trastuzumab 2 mg/kg IV (loading dose 4 mg/kg) weekly for 12 weeks.
This study is for adult females who have been newly diagnosed with breast cancer that includes surgery as part of standard cancer treatment. This is a research study combining Vitamin D (an over the counter medication) with the standard of care (or the established and approved treatment), surgery. Evidence shows that women who are Vitamin D3 deficient have a higher risk of breast cancer and breast cancer recurrence. The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of Vitamin D3 during the treatment period for Stage I-II breast cancer. Screening tests will be done to determine if subjects are eligible to participate in this study. If subjects are eligible and they agree to participate, they will be assigned to one of two groups which will receive different amounts of vitamin D. Subjects will be asked to keep a medication diary. Subjects may remain on treatment for approximately 56 days.
This phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy works in treating post-menopausal women with early stage breast cancer undergoing surgery. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. This may be an effective treatment for breast cancer.
This pilot clinical trial studies biomarkers in tissue samples from patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer treated with zoledronic acid (ZA). Studying samples of tumor tissue in the laboratory from patients receiving ZA may help doctors learn more about the effects of ZA on cells. It may also help doctors understand how well patients respond to treatment.
The subjects in this trial have been diagnosed as having a pre-cancerous disease of the breast called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). This condition is associated with the development of breast cancer in up to 50% of cases. The subjects are being asked to participate in this research study. They are being offered voluntary admission to this study to test the effects of a new investigational drug called Fulvestrant (Faslodex). This drug is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of advanced breast cancer but has not been approved for the treatment of DCIS. However, the FDA has given permission for the drug to be tested in this study. The purpose of this study is to find out if Fulvestrant has any effect on the subject's precancerous changes by comparing samples taken before and after receiving Fulvestrant.
