For almost 30 years, annual mammograms for women over 40 have been a cornerstone of the US strategy to reduce mortality from breast cancer. A number of advances in the understanding of breast cancer biology, and screening in general, have led to calls to revise and improve national screening strategies ...

Despite advances in early detection and therapeutic options, unresectable or metastatic breast cancer remains incurable and is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality. Breast cancer is a molecularly heterogeneous disease. This study will be evaluating estrogen receptor (ER) expression positivity and/or progesterone receptor (PgR) positivity of breast cancer ...

Breast cancer is the most common female cancer and the second most common cause of death in women. Women with hormone receptor-negative tumors that are associated with symptomatic visceral metastases, or hormone receptor-positive tumors that are refractory to endocrine therapy require cytotoxic chemotherapy for disease control. The standard of care ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES; I. To assess whether CE/BZA (conjugated estrogens/bazedoxifene) for 28 days +/- 7 days reduces proliferation as measured by marker of proliferation Ki-67 (Ki-67) protein expression. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess whether CE/BZA alters markers associated with progression to invasive cancer (abrogated response to cellular stress [ARCS] signature) in ...

This is a multicenter, open-label, phase 1 study that is being done to test intratumoral injections of TTI-621 in patients that have relapsed and refractory percutaneously accessible solid tumors or mycosis fungoides. The study will be performed in two different parts: Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion. During the escalation part ...

The investigators propose to influence estrogen receptor (ER) signaling by combining endocrine therapy with CDK4/6 inhibition along with trastuzumab in ER+/ human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)+ early stage breast cancer.

Breast cancer is the most common female cancer and the second most common cause of cancer death in women. Approximately 1,150,000 cases and 410,000 deaths from breast cancer occur annually worldwide, and, in the U.S., there are an estimated 184,450 new cases and 40,480 deaths from breast cancer every year. ...

The rationale behind assessing the effectiveness of the addition of alisertib to weekly paclitaxel therapy in patients with Triple Negative Breast Cancer and highly proliferative ER+ and HER2- breast cancer is based on the unmet clinical need for effective strategies to prevent or delay resistance to taxane therapy in the ...

Currently, the rate of ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) after breast- conserving surgery and radiotherapy remains at 10% at 10 years to 15% at 20 years, respectively. IBTR is an independent predictor of poor survival with a 3 to 4.6 increased risk of cancer-related death. In a heterogeneous population, local ...
