The Breast Duct: Pilot Study of Genomic Sequencing of Exfoliated Ductal Cells Obtained Through Endoscopy...
Breast CancerPreneoplastic Conditions1 moreThe objective of this study is to determine whether we can use minimally invasive techniques to gain access to exfoliated ductal epithelial cells for whole genome sequencing. To examine women with nipple aspiration, ductoscopy and ductal lavage and collect exfoliated cells from two ducts per woman. To collect a blood sample at the time of the examination in order to obtain the woman's baseline genomic sequence. De-identified samples will then have DNA and RNA extracted and whole genome sequencing and transcriptome analysis performed by Covance and Illumina. Comparisons will be made within a breast (two ducts) and between the duct and blood as well as between women.
X-Ray Mammography Standard of Care Protocol
Breast CancerInvasive Carcinoma3 moreBackground: X-ray mammography is the standard method for breast cancer screening. It is a noninvasive test using x-rays to take pictures of breast tissue and detect any abnormalities. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center has a breast imaging unit that has been accredited by the American College of Radiology. To maintain accreditation, the unit must recruit a certain number of women to have clinical mammograms each year in order to maintain a high level of clinical skills and experience for the radiologists and technologists. Objectives: - To create a state-of-the-art mammography unit at the NIH Clinical Center in order to maintain American College of Radiology accreditation of the NIH breast imaging facility. Eligibility: - Women who are eligible for breast cancer screening because of family cancer history, genetic test results, or previous instances of cancer. Participants may not be pregnant or nursing at the time of the screening. Design: Participants will provide a brief medical history on arrival at the NIH breast imaging unit. Each participant will have a standard mammogram performed by a radiology technician. If the study is normal, participants will be told that no further evaluation will be performed. If the results indicate a need for further imaging or tissue biopsy, participants may elect to return to the care of their primary physician or to receive further follow-up at the NIH Clinical Center.
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Versus Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for Breast...
Ductal Carcinoma In SituInvasive Breast CancerThe primary objective of this study is to compare the diagnostic accuracy of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) versus that of Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CEMRI) in determining the size of breast cancer preoperatively. Secondary objectives include: Comparing the operating characteristics of each combined imaging protocol with respect to the reference standard, i.e. histopathologic assessment, of additional non-index lesions. Comparison of re-excision rates based on estimated disease extent from adjunctive CEMRI vs. adjunctive DBT. Evaluation of patient satisfaction with regard to the adjunctive modality (DBT vs. CEMRI).
Atypical Lesions of the Breast: Close Observation Versus Excision (ALCOVE)
Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia (ADH) of the BreastThis study is designed to look at whether it is feasible to observe women with atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) of the breast, or whether surgical excision is necessary.
Effect of Endocrine Therapy Duration on Clinical Outcome of Patients With HR+ Intraductal Carcinoma...
Breast CancerThis study will investigate the relationship between the endocrine therapy and the survival of patients with hormone receptor positive intraductal carcinoma of the breast, and the optimal duration of medication. This study will also analyze the risk factors of recurrence and metastasis of hormone receptor positive intraductal carcinoma of the breast and establish a prognosis model to further clarify the specific reasons for recurrence and metastasis, adverse reactions, and drug withdrawal in patients with hormone receptor positive intraductal carcinoma of the breast after endocrine therapy.
Partial Breast Irradiation for Low-risk Ductal Carcinoma In Situ After Breast-conserving Surgery...
Breast CancerThis study is designed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of partial breast irradiation for low risk DCIS after breast-conserving surgery.
