PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare the index lesion size (the largest diameter) from each of the four readings (standard of care 2 dimensional [D], magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], contrast enhanced spectral mammography [CESM], 3D) to gold standard index lesion size from surgical pathology (the largest diameter). II. To document the ...

The rationale for IORT as the sole radiation therapy is: Favorable preliminary results in feasibility, safety and efficacy outcomes: Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) is an accepted alternative to whole breast irradiation following breast-conserving surgery for early stage breast cancer. Intra-Operative Radiation Therapy (IORT) is a form of APBI that ...

Measuring nerve recovery and breast sensibility has been reported in a limited fashion in the past. A number of studies have assessed patients before and after breast reduction surgery using Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments and found this to be an effective technique. A limited number of studies have been done in patients ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Measure the ability of two dose levels of bupropion hydrochloride (bupropion), 150 or 300 mg of extended release, to improve sexual desire more than a placebo at 9 weeks (8 weeks on the target dose) as measured by the desire subscale of the female sexual function index ...

This is a single-center prospective clinical trial to evaluate non-inferiority of indocyanine green guided sentinel lymph node biopsy compared with the gold standard Technecium99 guided sentinel lymph node biopsy in patients with cancers and subjected to surgery. The diagnostic performance and the tolerance of indocyanine green (ICG) to the radio-isotope ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine if training providers on tobacco cessation resources increases the frequency of counseling and referrals at initial and follow-up consultations for cancer patients who use tobacco and are scheduled to receive radiation at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Increase provider frequency of ...

The purpose of this study is to seeking a molecular signature of pathological radiation induced fibrosis based on the response of skin fibroblasts after irradiation, comparing two groups of patients distinguished by their individual radiosensitivity. The signature will integrate recent insights in terms of alternative splicing of mRNAs and level ...

Sentara Healthcare is a progressive and integrated healthcare organization that cares for hundreds of patients per year who are diagnosed with breast cancer and pre-invasive lesions, including atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH), ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), and lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS). Sentara Healthcare maintains a Cancer Registry which includes ...

This study aims to discover more about radiation techniques for people treated for left-sided breast cancer that minimizes exposure to the heart, as noted by mean heart dose. Both prone (lying face down) radiation and DIBH (Deep Inspiration Breath Hold) are more labor-intensive and usually require longer treatment times for ...
