Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma in Situ"

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies a nanoemulsion formulation of curcumin in reducing inflammatory changes in breast tissue in obese women at high risk for breast cancer. Curcumin may reduce inflammation in breast tissue and fat. This may affect the risk of developing breast cancer.

High-doses of Vitamin D (VD) may be used as targeted therapy against breast cancer. The investigators will assess the effect of high dose VD on the following biomarkers in the breast cancer cells: VDR, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her2/neu), androgen receptor (AR), as well as epidermal growth factor receptor 1 (EGFR) and Ki-67, as markers of proliferation, and E-cadherin, a marker of invasion and metastasis.

This randomized phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of letrozole in preventing breast cancer in healthy postmenopausal women at high risk for breast cancer. Chemoprevention is the use of drugs to keep breast cancer from forming or coming back. The use of letrozole may keep cancer from forming in healthy postmenopausal women at high risk for breast cancer.

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as digital colposcopy, may help doctors find and diagnose cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying digital colposcopy to see how well it works in finding cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.

This is a bridging trial of the recombinant HPV 16/18 bivalent vaccine manufactured by Xiamen Innovax Biotech CO., LTD.The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity (type specific IgG antibody) and safety of the tested vaccine administered in girls aged 9-17 years is non-inferior to young healthy adults of 18-26 years according to the standard 3-dose schedule (0,1,6 months). Meanwhile, this study tries to compare the difference of safety and immunogenicity among different schedules (0-6m vs 0-1-6m).

MUCIPLIQ is a nanopolymer engineered to mimic glycosaminoglycans such as heparan sulfates. Glycosaminoglycans are involved 1) in the stabilization of cells micro-environment, known as extracellular matrix, by binding to structural proteins, and 2) in cells communication process by protecting growth factors. At the site of a lesion, glycosaminoglycans are degraded, thereby the extracellular matrix is disorganized and the tissue is destroyed. By replacing damaged glycosaminoglycans, MUCIPLIQ provides a protection, and restores the matrix scaffold and cells communication, a process known as Matrix Therapy. The purpose of this new controlled study is to determine whether MUCIPLIQ can decrease the incidence and the severity of radio-chemotherapy-induced mucositis in patients suffering of upper aerodigestive tract cancers, when used as a preventive agent. The study's main hypothesis is that MUCIPLIQ mouthwash applications before radiotherapy would protect the healthy oral tissue against cytotoxic effect of chemotherapy and radiations.

RATIONALE: Genetics education and counseling may help patients make treatment decisions. It is not yet known how genetic counseling or usual care influence patient treatment decisions for breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well genetic counseling works compared to usual care in helping patients with newly diagnosed ductal carcinoma in situ, stage I, stage II, or stage IIIA breast cancer make treatment decisions.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether dietary lycopene supplementation lowers serum prostate specific antigen(PSA) in men with high grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN).

This is a prospective single-institution pilot study examining the feasibility of performing ultrasound-guided cryoablation to completely ablate breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). The study is designed such that patients meeting selection criteria will undergo cryoablation followed by surgical resection. The pathology of the surgical specimen will be used to determine the rate of complete tumor ablation. Standard adjuvant therapies otherwise remained unchanged.

This pilot clinical trial studies magnetic resonance thermal image guided laser interstitial thermal therapy in treating patients with breast cancer. Magnetic resonance thermal image guided laser interstitial thermal therapy may be able to kill tumor cells by heating up the tumor cells without affecting the surrounding tissue
