Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

This is an expanded access protocol to allow continued maintenance therapy with ABT-888 (veliparib) for three patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer who are currently receiving the investigational product in association with clinical trial participation. Additionally, the protocol will enroll up to 7 new patients with metastatic BRCA associated or triple negative breast cancer to allow for additional access to veliparib monotherapy, or at the investigator's discretion, veliparib in combination with cisplatin and/or vinorelbine.

Tomosynthesis is an innovative technique developed in digital mammography for obtaining a sectional image of the breast. Mammography has the main disadvantage of being an imaging projection that creates overlays, which eliminates tomosynthesis. The objective of this study is to evaluate if the BI-RADS classification obtained by tomosynthesis with synthetic mammography is superior to that obtained by conventional mammography in terms of specificity while not inferior in terms of sensitivity.

The investigators hope to gain a better understanding of the influence of affect reactivity and regulation on the decision of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients to choose bilateral mastectomy. The information gained can help develop an intervention to enable management of cancer-related anxiety by non-surgical means.

The main objective of this study is to describe the evolution in quality of life (QLQ-C30) for patients receiving breast cancer care at 3, 6 and 12 months after a "remission" consultation.

The investigators will establish a platform at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center to generate novel models of estrogen receptor alpha-positive (ER+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer, which will be used for research studies to develop novel treatment strategies and dissect signaling pathways underlying drug sensitivity and resistance.

This study evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of an USPIO contrast agent (ferumoxtran-10) in combination with 7 Tesla MRI to detect lymph node metastases in rectal and breast cancer.

The goal of the study is to establish the feasibility/willingness of breast cancer patients to delay surgery to do an exercise program, or be randomized to an exercise training program following treatment, and to see if that willingness correlates with prior physical activity history.

This phase I/II research trial studies supportive care questionnaires in gathering data on unmet needs and health-related quality of life in Latina breast cancer survivors after surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. Questionnaires that address unmet supportive care needs and health-related quality of life of breast cancer survivors may help doctors learn about barriers to cancer care that are linked to language, acculturation, knowledge about diagnosis and care, and financial concerns. Learning about unmet needs of breast cancer patients may help increase quality of life and decrease healthcare utilization and costs.

Patients with breast cancer normally undergo a labelling with radioactive tracer typically 1 day before surgery, which enables the surgeon to localize the sentinel lymph node during surgery. This pilot study uses the magnetic Sentimag technique to mark the lymph nodes either 1 or 4-6 days before surgery to investigate the concordance with the standard technique.
