Determine whether nutritional supplement sulforaphane (SFN) is safe to administer to breast cancer patients undergoing doxorubicin (DOX) chemotherapy. The investigators have identified biomarkers for presymptomatic detection of DOX cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients and reported that SFN
Malnutrition is characterized by a negative energy balance due to a deep skeletal muscular loss, which is itself secondary to the reduction of intake and metabolic abnormalities aggravating the loss of weight. Sarcopenia is defined as the loss of muscle mass, the consequences of which are a decrease
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To compare the overall survival (OS) of nivolumab/ipilimumab/sargramostim (GM-CSF) versus nivolumab/ipilimumab.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate progression free survival (PFS) of patients treated with nivolumab/ipilimumab/GM-CSF versus nivolumab/ipilimumab.
II. To assess
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine whether initial treatment with either combination ipilimumab + nivolumab (with subsequent dabrafenib mesylate [dabrafenib] in combination with trametinib dimethyl sulfoxide [trametinib]) or dabrafenib in combination with trametinib (with subsequent ipilimumab +

Specific Aims
Aim 1: To compare the effectiveness of two tobacco treatments that are integrated into cancer care in producing tobacco abstinence at 6 months.

BACKGROUND:
The Radiation Epidemiology Branch and the University of Minnesota have followed a nationwide cohort of 146,022 U.S. radiologic technologists (USRT) since 1982 to assess cancer and other disease risks associated with long-term repeated low doses of ionizing radiation. The USRT Study is
Background:
The Laboratory of Human Carcinogenesis is conducting an observational non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) case-control study in Baltimore, MD. This molecular epidemiology study was developed to test the reliability and validity of the mutagen sensitivity assay, where a case-control study
