The PROMISE Research Study is seeking participants to look at whether an FDA approved medication can prevent DCIS from becoming an invasive breast cancer. Participants will take the drug for 3 – 5 weeks. There are about 4 visits to the clinic and 4 phone calls. Up to $100 is ...

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 ...

A substantial number of DCIS lesions will never form a health hazard, particularly if it concerns slow-growing low-grade DCIS. This implies that many women might be unnecessarily going through intensive treatment resulting in a decrease in quality of life and an increase in health care costs, without any survival benefit. ...

This is a prospective cohort study conducted within the medical network of the participating investigators and institutions. Patients meeting the eligibility criteria outlined above will be eligible for participation and the investigators will obtain written informed consent. A central Institutional Review Board (IRB) will approve the protocol and each participating ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine if treatment with a combination of metformin and doxycycline can increase the percentage of cells that express Caveolin-1 in the cancer associated fibroblasts of patients with breast, or uterine, and cervical cancers. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the effect of metformin and doxycycline treatment on ...

OBJECTIVES There are two study components, 1) to evaluate the treatment response and toxicity of the protocol, and 2) to investigate the role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to monitor and predict the final pathological response. Objectives for treatment study component: 1.1 To estimate 2-year progression-free survival in patients with ...

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).

Background: Within the United States, there are an estimated 3.1 million women alive who have been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, and approximately 56% of them have received radiation. Worldwide, there are 1.4 million diagnosed annually and, in 2012, it was the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women. As patients ...

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 ...
