Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

The aim of this study is to define silent breast cancer prevalence in both sexes and will be held by biopsies performed in imaging suspicious areas of the breast (ecography and mammography) in cadavers without known breast cancer.

Comparison of Preoperative Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer Patients.

A genomic test was developed to predict chemo-sensitivity to taxane-anthracycline-based chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment. The primary aim of this study is to prospectively evaluate the microarray-based, genomic test as a predictor of axillary lymph node response. Also, to determine whether the probability of achieving negative axillary nodes, is sufficiently high for patients whose breast cancer is predicted to be chemo-sensitive to support omitting axillary dissection.

The role among metabolic syndrome and breast cancer risk is not well understood and must be further explored. The objective of this study is to evaluate the association between metabolic syndrome and breast cancer in Southern Brazil. In this case-control study, breast cancer patients and controls without malignant disease, matched for age (±5 years) and menopausal status, were interviewed and asked to make a glucose, HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides test. Waist circumference and blood pressure were measured using standardized procedures. Metabolic Syndrome was considered by NCEP ATP III (2001) and IDF (2006) definitions. Cases and controls were compared in relation to the presence of diagnosed MetS (yes/no), number of metabolic abnormalities identified (1 to 5) for each definition, and according to each metabolic abnormality cutoff point.

Using an observational prospective design, potential subjects will be identified and screened for eligibility via medical record review of breast cancer patients scheduled for radiation therapy at Duke Radiation Oncology Clinic. Subjects who agree to participate will be asked to complete study questionaires prior to the start of radiation therapy and again during the last week of therapy.

The study aims to analyse and decode interviews of patient with breast cancer, and then established according a multidimensional profile specific to the population and to create a questionnaire tha will allow a practical and qualitative evaluation of the quality of life.

Background: - The Chinese University of Hong Kong and the National Cancer Institute are conducting a breast tissue study in connection with another study on breast health. This larger study will look at breast health in women who live in Hong Kong. Women in the breast health study will provide a breast tissue sample during biopsy surgery. Researchers want to use part of the sample to study changes in breast tissue that are related to breast diseases. This sample study is part of the larger study. Objectives: - To look at changes in breast tissue that are related to breast diseases. Eligibility: Women who are participating in the Hong Kong breast health study. Participants must be having a biopsy to remove breast tissue for study. Design: Participants will have a biopsy to remove a breast tissue sample. Most of the sample will be used for diagnosis. A portion of the leftover tissue will be used for this study. No extra surgery will be required. Treatment will not be provided as part of this study.

The purpose of this pilot study is to provide credible performance estimate information in order to properly plan, design, and power a larger clinical study.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between nutrition, physical activity and brain function in breast cancer survivors.

The purpose of the study is the identification and quantification of protein expression level in breast cancer tissues. The imaging system is intended for diagnostic use as an aid to the pathologist in the detection, counting and classifying her2 immunohistochemical (IHC) stained samples.
