PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Evaluate the feasibility of a diet and exercise intervention to decrease body fat in postmenopausal women with normal body mass index (BMI) but high body fat (trunk fat mass 9.4 kg, the 50th percentile of normal BMI women in the Women's Health Initiative [WHI]). SECONDARY

Aim 1. To examine the efficacy of the Men Moving Forward guided intervention, as compared to a self-guided control intervention, in producing significant post-intervention changes in body composition in 200 AA PC survivors. Hypothesis: Men randomized to the guided arm will exhibit significant

Integrated whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-positron emission tomography (PET) scanners have recently been introduced for clinical use. This technology combines the anatomic and perfusion data obtained with Dynamic Contrast Enhanced (DCE) MRI with functional imaging data obtained from

The risk. Women carrying harmful mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene are at higher risk to develop breast and/or ovarian cancer than the general population. 12 percent of all U.S. women are going to develop breast cancer sometime during their lives (Howlader N, Noone AM, Krapcho M, et al. (eds). SEER

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To establish the dermal tolerability and safety of Z-endoxifen hydrochloride (endoxifen) (ENX) gel administered topically to both breasts at two doses: 10 mg daily (5 mg per breast) and 20 mg daily (10 mg per breast) in comparison to vehicle placebo gel, using objective

INTRODUCTION Overweight and obesity represent a risk factor for hormone dependent cancers such as breast, endometrium, ovarian, uterine and gastrointestinal cancer. In particular, overweight and obesity are risk factors for breast cancer in post-menopause women since they are associated to higher

Objectives The investigators hypothesize that developing an individualized and dynamic exercise intervention (iMETX) that accounts for factors of the built environment will be feasible for breast cancer patients following primary treatment. This pilot study will assess the feasibility and provide

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To estimate and compare the percent change in mammographic breast density (using Cumulus software) from baseline to month 12 in women applying 4mg afimoxifene (4-hydroxytamoxifen [4-OHT]) gel per breast versus placebo. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare the Cumulus versus

The experimental FES-PET/CT is required to be completed 0 to 30 days prior to initiation of first-line endocrine therapy for metastatic ER+ breast cancer. Labs and correlative radiology, as directed per clinical care, are required within 60 days prior to FES-PET/CT; and FDG-PET/CT is required within

After the age of 40, testosterone (T) production in men gradually decreases at a rate of 1.6% per year for total and to 2-3% per year for bioavailable T. Because of the age-related increase in sex hormone binding globulin, the magnitude of the decrease in bioavailable T in men is even greater than

Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common types of cancer in Canadian women, and although the mortality rate is decreasing, there remain numerous challenges for survivorship. Among the most prevalent yet less commonly discussed post-treatment concerns, is substantial weight gain, with

Trial design This is an open-label feasibility study of combined Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-matched sibling hematopoietic stem cell and kidney transplantation. The study will be performed at the University Hospital of Zurich. The pilot study will include 5 donors and 5 recipients. We expect that

The guiding concept of our proposal is that both the total fat and the fatty acid composition of the diet contribute to a milieu associated with the risk for sex-hormone mediated cancers. Specifically, we hypothesize that an increased concentration of circulating n3 fatty acids will reduce the

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Estimate the rate of clinical benefit (objective response plus stable disease) for patients treated with 28-day cycles of vorinostat (first 5 consecutive days each week for day 1-21) concurrent with daily aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy (all 28 days). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I.
