Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma in Situ"

This pilot clinical trial studies caloric restriction in patients with stage 0-I breast cancer during surgery and radiation therapy. Reducing caloric intake may prevent disease progression in patients with breast cancer. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Giving dietary intervention and radiation therapy together may kill more tumor cells.

This pilot clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy & safety of SR-T100 gel (2.3% of SM in Solanum undatum plant extract) in patients with VIN(s) or EGW(s).

This is a pilot study to test the short-term effectiveness of an alternative treatment approach for precancerous cells of the cervix. The study will also explore whether this new treatment is feasible to perform and if it is acceptable to patients.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of gemcitabine applied to the bladder directly combined with different oral doses of everolimus and to assess the right doses. Gemcitabine will be given at a fixed dose. Up to 3 dose levels of everolimus will be evaluated. The purpose of the phase II part is to test the combination of gemcitabine applied to the bladder directly combined with different oral doses of everolimus and to study the effects of these two drugs together. The investigators want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, this treatment has on the patient and the cancer.

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel arm study will assess the safety and the efficacy of RO5217790 on histologic resolution in participants with high grade CIN associated with HR-HPV infection. Participants will be randomized to receive 3 subcutaneous injections of either placebo or RO5217790 on Days 1, 8, and 15. Study assessments will be made at Baseline, at Month 3 and 6, and every 6 months thereafter for an overall of 2.5 years.

This randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of lapatinib ditosylate and to see how well it works in treating patients with ductal breast carcinoma in situ. Lapatinib ditosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about differences in DNA and predict how well patients will respond to treatment and plan better treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying blood samples from women with breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ who are receiving tamoxifen.

The purpose of this study is to find molecular signs (biomarkers) to better understand the role of green tea as an anti-cancer and anti-inflammation agent in women with newly-diagnosed ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).

This randomized phase II trial is studying 4-hydroxytamoxifen to see how well it works compared with tamoxifen citrate in treating women with newly diagnosed ductal breast carcinoma in situ. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using tamoxifen may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. It is not yet known whether topical tamoxifen causes less damage to normal tissue than systemic tamoxifen in treating patients with ductal carcinoma in situ.

RATIONALE: Estrogen can stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells. Tamoxifen may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen. Anastrozole may fight breast cancer by decreasing estrogen production. It is not yet known whether anastrozole is more effective than tamoxifen in preventing the recurrence of breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying anastrozole to see how well it works compared to tamoxifen in preventing the recurrence of breast cancer in postmenopausal women with ductal carcinoma in situ who are undergoing lumpectomy and radiation therapy.
