Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

The aim is to characterise the metabolic profiling of dietary polyphenols in normal and malignant breast tissues from breast cancer patients.

It is increasingly recognized the NSAIDS (nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug) might prevent the several cancers. In breast cancer, the role of NSAIDS (nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug) has been suggested.However, there was no consistent results. surgery is main cause of inflammation for cancer patients. Therefore, we want to know the association between prevention of perioperative inflammation with NSAIDS and breast cancer outcomes.

The sentinel node has a fundamental role in the management of early breast cancer. Currently, the double detection of blue and radioisotope is recommended. A radioactive material requires the presence of a nuclear medicine department and the approval of health authorities. In many centers, this technique is not available. The use of blue is easier to implement technique. However, allergic reactions and prolonged breast tattoo led many teams to stop the practice. So in common practice, many center use a single method. However, with a single detection, the risk of false negatives and the identification failure rate increased to a significant extent and the number of sentinel lymph node detected and removed is not enough. Under these conditions, find another method of detection seems crucial. According to the literature, the fluorescence method (ICG) is a technique that seems safe and reliable. The investigators therefore propose a prospective, randomized study to investigate the interest of fluorescence associated with the isotopic method.

This is a phase II, prospective, single-center, non-randomized, non-controlled study. Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SNB) is a standard staging procedure in early breast cancer. The potentially increasing false negative rate of SNB was concerned if the sonographic abnormal node was not excised. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of SNB in breast cancer with sonographic abnormal axillary lymph nodes.

The purpose of this study is to determine if Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography (CESM) will be able to detect smaller/earlier breast cancers as well as breast MRI can.

This clinical trial studies ultrasound tomography using SoftVue in diagnosing women with breast cancer. New diagnostic procedures, such as ultrasound tomography using SoftVue, may help find and diagnose breast cancer.

The purpose of this study is to determine if Indocyanine Green (IC-GREEN) is comparable to isosulfan blue (IS-BLUE) in the identification of arm lymphatics and arm-draining nodes during nodal staging procedures in breast cancer.

Purpose: The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate whether MRI of the breasts with diffusion-weighted MR imaging can identify features more specific for breast cancer in women at high-risk of developing breast cancer. Participants: One hundred asymptomatic women at high-risk for breast cancer recommended for a clinical breast MRI identified through the UNC Breast Clinic will be consecutively recruited for this study. Procedures (methods): Each patient will undergo a clinical breast MRI and the addition of a single 90 second diffusion weighted sequence. A reader study will be conducted at UNC after the completion of patient accrual. The images will be analysed for lesions, enhancement patterns, diffusion weighted imaging data and correlated with any pathology or 1 year follow-up MRI exam. The study information will be entered into a secure database and analyzed.

The primary hypothesis to be tested is: The detection of breast cancer will be increased with tomosynthesis (3D) imaging

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a novel neoadjuvant regimen for invasive breast carcinoma by using the MD Anderson residual cancer burden score.To prospectively evaluate the utility of the PET scan to guide the neoadjuvant treatment and the utility of the Oncotype test as a stratifier for treatment decisons in ER+/Her2- patients. To evaluate the clinical anti-tumor activity of neoadjuvant hormonal therapy in ER+/Her2 negative patients. To evaluate the prognostic factors associated associated with pathological response as measured by the residual cancer burden tool.
