RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of tumor tissue from patients with breast cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about cancer. PURPOSE: This phase I study is collecting tissue samples for future research from women undergoing surgery for breast cancer.
Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women. Recurrent or metastatic breast cancer is incurable. High risk patients usually have the following characteristics, such as, non-pCR after neoadjuvant therapy, lymph nodes positive, \>2cm tumor size, HER2 overexpression, etc. Intensive targeted or chemo therapy could improve prognosis. Previous studies …
Italian, multicenter, study aimed at defining the best interval for screening women 45-49 and 70-74 years for Breast Cancer (BC). This research project includes (1) a controlled, prospective randomized non-inferiority trial to determine the optimal screening interval for women aged 45-49, with and without high mammographic density, (2) a retrospective …
The purpose of this study is learn more about how being treated for breast cancer affects patients' employment. Researchers are testing an early version of a mobile app designed to help breast cancer patients keep their jobs during and after treatment. The app provides advice for patients to use when …
To create a registry (database) of participants who come in for breast MRI scans. Researchers want to use this information to study if participants with dense breast tissue (tissue that is more difficult to see on mammogram).
The purpose of this study is to train Nigerian radiologists to perform ultrasound-guided breast biopsies on women that present to the hospital with a suspicious breast mass. Before performing biopsies on patients, the Nigerian radiologists will have already successfully completed a competency-based mobile health ultrasound-guided breast biopsy-training program. This program, …
Several researches have proved that avoiding axillary surgery does not worsen the outcome of breast cancer patients with relatively low risk. Based on the routine axillary imaging evaluation (ultrasound and MR etc.) and latest dedicate lymph node PET (LymphPET), axillary nodal burden can be identified before operation. Therefore this prospective …
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects on low risk breast cancer receiving usual care that includes regional radiation therapy, with receiving no regional radiation therapy. Researchers want to see if not giving this type of radiation treatment works as well at preventing breast cancer from coming …
Breast cancer (BC) is one of most prevalent malignant tumors in the world. According to the 2020 edition of the global cancer statistics report, the incidence rate of BC has overtaken lung cancer to become the most commonly diagnosed cancer. In the past three decades, survival of patients with primary …
The over-arching goal of the Contrast-Enhanced Spectral Mammography Imaging Screening Trial (CMIST) is to determine if dual-energy contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) can detect more cancers with fewer false positives than digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in women with dense breasts. Aim 1: To evaluate the performance of CESM compared to DBT …
