Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Ductal, Breast"

Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming. The use of atorvastatin (Lipitor) may prevent breast cancer. This randomized phase I trial is studying the best dose of atorvastatin in preventing breast cancer in women at increased risk for breast cancer.

Evaluation of the use of Circulating tumour Cells to guide chemotherapy from the 3rd line of chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer.

This study will investigate the safety, feasibility, and immune response associated with cryoablation of early invasive breast cancer prior to lumpectomy. Based on mouse models, the investigators believe that cryoablation will initiate a stronger immune response relative to the control group. Consenting patients will be randomized to one of two arms: standard of care (control) or cryoablation (intervention). Participants will undergo a blood draw at the time of consent. Those in the control arm will continue with their standard of care lumpectomy. The intervention arm will receive cryoablation 2 weeks before their scheduled lumpectomy and undergo a second blood draw before the lumpectomy.

This clinical trial studies mammography and targeted ultrasound with or without whole-breast ultrasound or contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in finding out the extent of disease before surgery in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer. New diagnostic imaging procedures, such as whole-breast ultrasound or contrast-enhanced MRI, may help find out how far breast cancer has spread. It is not yet known whether mammography and targeted ultrasound are more effective with or without whole-breast ultrasound or contrast-enhanced MRI in finding out how far breast cancer has spread.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well docosahexaenoic acid works in preventing recurrence in breast cancer survivors. Docosahexaenoic acid supplement may prevent recurrence in breast cancer survivors.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of bexarotene in preventing breast cancer in patients at high risk for breast cancer. Bexarotene belongs to a class of drugs that are called rexinoids, and it may reduce the incidence of breast tumors.

This randomized trial studies transdermal or oral telapristone acetate in treating patients undergoing surgery to remove the breast (mastectomy). Telapristone acetate may help prevent breast cancer from forming in premenopausal women. Giving telapristone acetate transdermally may be safer and have fewer side effects than oral administration.

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.

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

This trial studies the effect of an electronic health (eHealth) support program called PACK Health on patient reported health outcomes in patients with breast cancer. PACK Health monitors breast cancer patients' reported side effects and experience of care when receiving chemotherapy. Participating in the PACK Health coaching program may improve quality of life, decrease hospital admissions and improve overall health.
