Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

A randomized trial from the British National Health Service found that supervised exercise benefits women with early stage breast cancer with improved functional and psychological benefit after a 12-week intervention and 6 months later. Considering the needs of breast cancer patients and survivors and the reported benefits of exercise and yoga intervention, the investigators propose a pilot study of an 8-week yoga intervention in breast cancer patients. This study would specifically address measures of fatigue and psychosocial distress in the population of breast cancer patients during treatment and within the year following treatment. Currently there is very limited literature on yoga intervention in this population.

RATIONALE: Studying mammograms for breast density changes over time may help doctors predict breast cancer risk. PURPOSE: This natural history study is looking at changes in breast density and gathering health information over time to assess breast cancer risk in women with breast cancer and in healthy women.

RATIONALE: Understanding how nausea or vomiting caused by chemotherapy effects a patient's treatment decisions may help doctors plan better cancer treatment and may help patients live more comfortably. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying nausea or vomiting in patients who are receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer or lung cancer.

RATIONALE: The amount and type of fat in the diet may affect hormone levels, bone mineral density, and breast density later in life. This may affect the risk of developing breast cancer. Learning about the long-term effects of diet on hormone levels, bone mineral density, and breast density may help the study of breast cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the long-term effect of adolescent diet on hormones and breast cancer risk in women previously enrolled in the Dietary Intervention Study in Children.

NK (Natural Killer) cells are important in the fight against tumor, especially for the control of cancer metastasis. The purpose of this prospective study is to evaluate the impact on lymphocytes NK functions and development of an everolimus treatment in women treated for a metastatic breast cancer. In particular, the study of lymphocytes NK functions and development under everolimus treatment could permit to validate an early biomarker of the impact of everolimus on these NK cells.

This multicenter, observational, prospective study will identify a powerful and easy predictive/prognostic marker to use with participants under bevacizumab.

This multicenter, prospectively designed study examines whether the Prosigna score influences physician and patient adjuvant treatment selection over and above currently used prognostic factors. This study also examines the impact of the test results on patients' reported outcomes, including their decisional conflict status and anxiety levels.

Some women have a higher risk than others of developing breast cancer. Unhealthy lifestyles, high breast density, family history, obesity, the presence of biomarkers associated with early neoplastic changes (considered alone or in combination) are just some of main factors that can increase the risk of breast cancer. Women with a higher risk may need to undergo more intensive screening activities, which include more frequent inspections and the possibility of experiment different types of tests. Instead, low risk women could be screened at longer intervals in order to reduce the screening harms (false positive results, overdiagnosis, radiation exposure, discomfort caused by the test itself, etc.) The ANDROMEDA Study aims at creating the possibility to customize the screening paths through a combined analysis of the above mentioned risk factors. Women consenting to be involved in the study will be asked to provide information on their lifestyle habits and reproductive history. Furthermore a blood sample will be collected for further bio-molecular analysis purposes.

The Tailored Breast Screening Trial (TBST) is a population-based, non-inferiority randomised trial aimed at evaluating the impact of tailored screening strategies addressed to premenopausal women, by using breast density as indicator of risk. 44-45 years old women will be enrolled and invited to undergo a digital mammography. Women are then randomly allocated in two arms. In the intervention arm, women will receive a tailored screening strategy according to breast density. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of a longer screening interval and the reduction of side effects for premenopausal women.

Breast radiotherapy RT used until the 1990s was clearly responsible for increased mortality due to long term cardiac complications. Since the 2000s, improvements have appeared in dose distributions to organ at risks such as heart, but now, little is known on the risk of potential cardiac impairment in this population, in particular for chemotherapy naive patients. Based on the state that clinically detectable cardiotoxicity is generally preceded by subclinical cardiac dysfunctions, the aim of the BACCARAT study (BreAst Cancer and Cardiotoxicity induced by RAdioTherapy) is to evaluate whether adjuvant 3DCRT induces cardiac toxicity that could be detected in the first two years after treatment based on a global approach with repeated analysis of subclinical functional and anatomical cardiac lesions in myocardial and coronary levels and circulating biomarkers.
