Filter by:RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue and blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify biomarkers related to cancer. Riluzole may help slow the growth of tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying riluzole in women with stage I, stage II, or stage IIIA breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at tumor tissue samples from patients with early-stage breast cancer.
This research study is looking at breast cancer risk in women who are BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation carriers. Studying samples of DNA in the laboratory from women who are BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation carriers may help doctors identify biomarkers related to cancer.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue and blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about cancer and the development of drug resistance in patients. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at lapatinib resistance in patients with breast cancer.
Primary objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of goserelin acetate (Zoladex) in preserving ovarian function in premenopausal women undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy for primary invasive breast cancer by documenting persistence or resumption of regular menses via menstrual history, serum FSH and E2 measurements. The secondary objectives of this study are as follows: To investigate the impact of treatment with chemotherapy with or without goserelin acetate (i.e. impact of the expectation of ovarian function preservation) on participants' quality of life (QOL) by FACT-ES scale, and to compare safety and tolerability of study drugs in two treatment groups by evaluation of adverse events.
RATIONALE: Gathering information over time from imaging and laboratory tests of women receiving bisphosphonates for breast cancer may help doctors learn more about long-term bone quality and plan the best treatment. Tetracycline hydrochloride and demeclocycline hydrochloride can mark the new growth of the bone, so it may be seen better under a microscope. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying long-term bone quality in women with breast cancer enrolled on clinical trial SWOG-S0307.
RATIONALE: Gathering health information from older patients undergoing chemotherapy may help doctors plan better treatment and improve the quality of life for these patients. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well an outpatient health care program works for older patients receiving chemotherapy for newly diagnosed breast cancer or colon cancer.
RATIONALE: Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well everolimus works in treating women with breast cancer that can be removed by surgery.
This single arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of first line combination treatment with Avastin + docetaxel in patients with HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer.Patients will receive Avastin (15mg/kg iv every 3 weeks) plus docetaxel (75mg/m2 every 3 weeks for 6 cycles). The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100 individuals.
RATIONALE: Genistein may increase the effectiveness of radiation therapy in treating pain caused by bone metastases. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of genistein and to see how well it works in treating patients undergoing external-beam radiation therapy for pain caused by bone metastases.
