Filter by:This is a prospective single-institution pilot study examining the feasibility of performing ultrasound-guided cryoablation to completely ablate breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). The study is designed such that patients meeting selection criteria will undergo cryoablation followed by surgical resection. The pathology of the surgical specimen will be used to determine the rate of complete tumor ablation. Standard adjuvant therapies otherwise remained unchanged.
Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) can lead to High-Grade Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN 2,3). This type of lesion has a high risk of becoming cancer. T cells are part of the immune system. A new type of treatment involves modifying these cells and injecting them into the lesions to shrink them. Objective: To test if injecting a type of treatment directly into cervical lesions can be safely given as therapy for high-grade CIN. Eligibility: People ages 21 and older with CIN 2,3 caused by HPV-16 Design: Participants will be screened over at least 2 visits with: Tumor sample Blood and urine tests Medical and medication history Physical exam Pelvic exam and colposcopy to look at the cervix Participants will have a baseline visit. They may be admitted to the hospital. They may receive a large catheter inserted into a vein. They will have a vein assessment. Before they receive treatment, participants will have a biopsy of the cervix. They will have leukapheresis. Blood will be removed through a needle in the arm, circulated through a machine that takes out the while blood cells, then returned through a needle in the other arm. A central catheter may also be used. Participants will have the modified cells injected directly into their cervical lesions. They will recover in the hospital for 1-2 days. Participants will have follow-up visits 2 weeks, 31 days, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks after treatment. They may receive a second injection at the 31-day visit. Participants will be contacted once a year for 5 years after treatment. They will be followed for up to 15 years.
The purpose of this trial is to assess the efficacy of the Xoft Axxent eBx System when used for single-fraction IORT in early stage breast cancer. A comparison will be made to the current standard of care, whole breast irradiation (WBI), in women with early stage breast cancer.
Partial breast irradiation is typically performed after surgical removal of the tumor. Partial breast irradiation allows for focused radiation to the area from which the cancer was removed, sparing breast tissue from the potential bad effects of radiation compared to radiating the whole breast, which was the standard of care for many years. This study is evaluating the use of partial breast irradiation with NIBB performed before surgery instead of after surgery.This should allow researchers to target the cancer even more accurately and result in less normal breast tissue receiving radiation which may cause less side effects and/or a better cosmetic outcome. In this study partial breast treatment will be given with NIBB in 5 treatments over about 1 week. Surgical removal of the tumor will then be performed between 4-12 weeks following radiation treatment. Researchers believe that participant's risk of complications from surgery will not be higher after getting these radiation treatments than it would have been if participants had surgery first, but that is one of the things researchers are studying.
This is a Phase 2, open-label, dose-rising study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of three concentrations of SOR007 ointment (0.15%, 1.0%, and 2.0%) applied topically once per week for four weeks to the ectocervix of subjects with high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).
High-doses of Vitamin D (VD) may be used as targeted therapy against breast cancer. The investigators will assess the effect of high dose VD on the following biomarkers in the breast cancer cells: VDR, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her2/neu), androgen receptor (AR), as well as epidermal growth factor receptor 1 (EGFR) and Ki-67, as markers of proliferation, and E-cadherin, a marker of invasion and metastasis.
The purpose of this study is to establish techniques for evaluating breast cutaneous sensation at baseline and following either lumpectomy or mastectomy for breast cancer.
This is a phase I dose escalation study of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the treatment of patients with pre-malignant tumors and superficial microinvasive disease of the anal canal and/or perianal skin. All subjects (a maximum of 12) will be given the photosensitizer ALA orally followed by the administration of red light (629-635 nm) to the tumor from a laser. The dose of ALA will be 40 mg/kg administered approximately 4-6 hours before light administration. There will be two levels of light dose: 50 and 100 J/cm2, 3-6 patients in each. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) supplementation (10,000 IU daily) will be provided from 3 days prior through 14 weeks after light delivery for PDT. Patients will be observed for 30 days for the development of DLT. Patients will be followed up for 24 months for additional toxicity and efficacy data collection.
This pilot clinical trial studies KeraStat Skin Therapy in treating radiation dermatitis in patients with newly diagnosed stage 0-IIIA breast cancer. Radiation dermatitis is an itchy, painful skin rash that can occur following treatment with radiation. KeraStat Skin Therapy may be a better treatment for radiation dermatitis.
This pilot clinical trial studies magnetic resonance thermal image guided laser interstitial thermal therapy in treating patients with breast cancer. Magnetic resonance thermal image guided laser interstitial thermal therapy may be able to kill tumor cells by heating up the tumor cells without affecting the surrounding tissue
