Molecular Residual Disease Assessment in a Diverse Population of Patients With Early-stage Breast Cancer
The purpose of this study is to determine how circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), a sign of minimal residual disease (MRD), is detectable after surgery in patients with early HR+/HER2- breast cancer that has spread to 1-3 lymph nodes. Researchers aim to understand if ctDNA detection can identify patients at higher …
Investigating Paclitaxel Toxicity in Breast Cancer: the Roles of Physical Activity and Body Composition.
This study looks into how a common breast cancer treatment, paclitaxel, can sometimes cause severe side effects that make it hard for patients to continue treatment. These side effects can significantly affect a patient's quality of life and even impact their recovery and overall health costs. What's interesting about this …
Contrast-Enhanced Mammography for the Evaluation of Mammographic Microcalcifications
This clinical trial evaluates the added role of contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM), as well as imaging and blood biomarkers, for predicting the presence or absence of high-grade ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or invasive cancer on pathology. Screening mammography is the mainstay of population-wide early breast cancer detection, and mammography-detected cancers …
CARE: Cancer Risk Perception and Women of Color
This study examines patient understanding of current and lifetime risk for breast cancer in women of color from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds.
Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Formation in Breast Cancer Patients Taking Tamoxifen
This study examines the long-term effects of tamoxifen (TAM) treatment on excessive production of neutrophil extracellular traps (NET) and their impact on breast cancer and side effects. NET are produced by the body to fight infections but have also been linked to side effects caused by the body's immune system. …
Whole Exome Sequencing in Finding Causative Variants in Germline DNA Samples From Patients With Hypertension Receiving Bevacizumab for Breast Cancer
This research trial studies whole exome sequencing in finding causative variants in germline deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) samples from patients with hypertension receiving bevacizumab for breast cancer. Studying samples of germline DNA in the laboratory from patients with hypertension receiving bevacizumab for breast cancer may help doctors learn about changes that …
Long Term Followup of Patients Enrolled in MC1137, BEAUTY Study
This study gathers information and samples for further analysis as part of the BEAUTY study. The purpose of the BEAUTY study was to better understand the reasons why or why not breast cancers respond to standard chemotherapy. Collecting samples of blood and tissue and health and treatment information from patients …
Whole Exome Sequencing in Finding Causative Variants in Germline DNA Samples From Patients With Congestive Heart Failure Receiving Therapy for Breast Cancer
This research trial studies whole exome sequencing in finding causative variants in germline deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) samples from patients with congestive heart failure receiving therapy for breast cancer. Studying samples of germline DNA in the laboratory from patients with congestive heart failure receiving therapy for breast cancer may help doctors …
Endocrine Therapy-Induced Alopecia in Postmenopausal and Premenopausal Female Breast Cancer Patients
This study evaluates endocrine therapy-induced alopecia among postmenopausal and premenopausal female patients with breast cancer. Alopecia is one of the most feared side effects of cancer-directed therapy, causing distress in women starting treatment for breast cancer. While alopecia is a well-known side effect of many chemotherapy drugs, it has also …
Effectiveness of Introducing Ultra-High B-Value Diffusion-Weighted Imaging as a Modified Abbreviated Protocol for Breast Cancer Detection
The aim of this study is to evaluate the added value of non-contrast abbreviated MRI protocol featuring ultra-high B value Diffusion Weighted Imaging to detect, characterize suspicious breast lesions and avoid using contrast.
