Filter by:Rationale: Determining quality of life in breast cancer patient after completing chemotherapy or radiation therapy or surgical procedures or any combination therapy. Intervention includes supportive care in terms of psychological support and moral boosting efforts by counseling breast cancer survivors which may enhance the well-being and quality of life of women who are treated with chemotherapy or radiation therapy or surgical procedures or any given combination therapy. PURPOSE: Randomized clinical trial study to compare the effectiveness of support system and counseling of breast cancer survivors on the well-being of women, who have completed various modes of treatment of breast cancer with the subjects who have no support system. Study Type: Quality of life and survival Study Design: Two arm randomized controlled clinical trial to study quality of life and survival of breast cancer patients after completion of chemotherapy or radiation therapy or surgery or any combination therapy. The stages from I to IV (metastases to other sites of the body) are included.
RATIONALE: Vaccines may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vaccine therapy in treating women with previously treated metastatic breast cancer.
To see if performing breast MRI before a lumpectomy will help the surgeon successfully remove the entire cancer with normal tissue margins in a single operation thereby reducing the need for additional surgical procedures. The study will also measure how well MRI can find unsuspected cancers in the same breast as the known cancer; how well MRI will find unsuspected cancers in the opposite breast; how often MRI will generate false positive MRI findings; whether routinely incorporating breast MRI delays care or adds unnecessary cost; and, whether breast MRI is able to reduce the frequency of cancer recurrence in the treated breast or elsewhere in the body.
The purpose of this study is to test MK0822 on reducing the risk of bone metastasis in women with breast cancer.
This study will assess the effectiveness of CP- 751,871 when given in combination with docetaxel to women with the first occurrence of advanced breast cancer disease. The effectiveness will be measured by progression-free survival duration. Patients will be followed for 2 years from the date of randomization.
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as CP-751871, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best way to give CP-751871 in treating patients with early-stage breast cancer that can be removed by surgery.
To evaluate the antitumor activity following treatment with IPI-504 in patients with breast cancer.
This study is being conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of exemestane alone or in combination with pazopanib in postmenopausal women who have hormone receptor positive breast cancer and have failed therapy with tamoxifen, anastrazole or letrozole.
This study will be conducted as a phase I/II clinical trial. In addition to determining the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of hydralazine, the phase I trial will be performed to identify unexpected toxicities that may occur when hydralazine is used in conjunction with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in normotensive women with breast cancer. Once the phase I trial is successfully completed, the phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy of hydralazine in producing a demethylation effect will begin.
This pilot study will evaluate the technical feasibility and acute toxicity of Partial Breast Irradiation (PBI) with the CyberKnife in anticipation of a larger multi-institutional Phase II study. It will evaluate quality of life (QOL) issues as they relate to treatment related side effects, cosmetic result, and patient convenience. Radiosurgery is defined as the stereotactic delivery of ionizing radiation in 5 stages or less to a designated target with sub-millimeter accuracy. Radiosurgery in the context of this protocol will be given to the region of the tumor bed within 7 weeks of lumpectomy and sentinel/axillary node sampling over a period of five to ten days using the CyberKnife (CK). Subjects will receive CK before chemotherapy, if applicable.
