Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

Collecting information regarding adverse events from patients on treatment with anastrazole with early stage breast cancer

The primary objective is to compare ARIMIDEX (anastrozole) 1 mg once daily with Tamoxifen 20 mg once daily as adjuvant treatment in terms of: incidence of fatty liver diseases. The second objectives are to compare ARIMIDEX (anastrozole) 1 mg once daily with Tamoxifen 20 mg once daily as adjuvant treatment in terms of: incidences of abnormal liver function test, and time to treatment failure.

The purpose of this study is to first understand how MSKCC Clinical Genetics Service doctors talk to women with breast cancer about any genetic risks they might carry, and if they help women to think about what they might say, in turn, to their relatives, especially their daughters. A second part of the study asks women for their opinions about when and how their daughters should be told about any genetic risks. All of this will help us develop teaching methods to help our doctors improve the way they talk about genetic risk when women with breast cancer have adolescent daughters.

RATIONALE: Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Studying samples of blood and urine in the laboratory from participants receiving freeze-dried table grape powder may help doctors understand the effect of this drug on blood estrogen levels. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the effect of freeze-dried table grape powder on blood estrogen levels in postmenopausal women.

RATIONALE: Gathering information about patients with breast cancer and their families may help the study of breast cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is gathering information about patients with breast cancer and their families.

RATIONALE: Understanding how well patients comply with their treatment regimen may help doctors plan the best treatment and ongoing care. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying whether patients comply with their hormone therapy regimen in women with estrogen receptor-positive stage I, stage II, or stage IIIA breast cancer.

RATIONALE: Identifying why patients don't do self care for lymphedema may help doctors plan better at-home self-care treatment. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at self-care practices for lymphedema in patients with breast cancer.

The purpose of this study is to compare intervention by Art-therapy to standard care in patients treated with adjuvant radiotherapy for breast cancer and evaluate the fatigue.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the biodistribution and dosimetry of single dose of 99mTc-glycopeptide (99mTc-GP, 20-25 mCi) in 3 different doses of GP (5, 10and 20 mg)in patients with breast cancer at pre-chemotherapy.

This project evaluates the impact of CHESS-Mammo by assessing participants' health information competence, psychological distress, and satisfaction with their doctor as measured by previously validated survey questionnaires.
